The Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce and the Duluth Area Chamber Foundation were proud to partner once again with the Duluth News Tribune to offer our community the opportunity to hear directly from candidates running for local office. Free and open to the public, the 2024 Candidate Forums were moderated by Duluth Chamber Vice President Daniel Fanning and Duluth News Tribune Editorial Page Editor Chuck Frederick. Recordings and summaries of each of the five forums are now available on the Duluth News Tribune website. See photos from the forums.
