City of Raleigh and Wake County Candidates’ Forum Saturday, October 17, 2026 | 10 AM – 3 PM | Estey Hall on Shaw University Campus The countdown to Election Day is on, and PowerUp NC, a program of North Carolina League Conservation Voters Foundation, is excited to partner with Shaw University, Raleigh Downtown, JETCV, Radical Futurist Labs, and Power the Vote to organize a nonpartisan candidates’ forum for the upcoming City of Raleigh and Wake County elections. This is your chance to ask the questions that matter most and leave with a clearer understanding of where candidates stand on the issues affecting our community—like the economy, energy, education, affordable housing, and family-sustaining wages.
