The 2024 Primary Election Candidate Forums, organized by Futuro RGV in partnership with AIM Rio Bank and supported by local sponsors, have successfully wrapped up, leaving a significant mark on the community’s political involvement. Each session facilitated insightful dialogues between the candidates and the constituents, fostering a spirit of democratic participation.
The forums kicked off with the Democratic Candidates for Hidalgo County Sheriff engaging in an in-depth conversation about law enforcement priorities on Thursday, February 1st. The following session for Hidalgo County Judges took place at RIO Bank and featured a lively debate on the pressing issues facing the local judiciary. The series culminated with the U.S. House District 15 candidates presenting their vision at the McAllen Public Library, illuminating their platforms for eager voters.
Each event was well-attended, with audience members taking advantage of the opportunity to interact directly with those running for office. For those who could not attend in person, the live streams on Facebook provided a crucial window into the electoral process, with viewers tuning in not just from Hidalgo County but from across the nation.
