David Stewart, 2018 Chairman of The Oklahoma Academy said “The forums are geared to provide opportunity for citizens to hear the candidates express their views and ideas on issues that are critical to Oklahoma’s future. The Academy has provided questions to the candidates prior to the forum so they can do some homework and come prepared.” The Academy has historically provided these forums during gubernatorial election years to ensure that citizens have more than just sound-bite information from candidates on important issues.

Brent Kisling, CEO of the Enid Regional Development Alliance, will welcome everyone. “We’re very pleased to partner with The Oklahoma Academy to hold the NW Region Gubernatorial Forum. It will provide an informative insight into the needs of NW Oklahoma and the candidates who aspire to be the next leader of our state,” Kisling said.
