Columbus Stand Up! presents the second annual youth-led candidate debate ahead of the 2025 general election — and you're invited.
This year’s debate will feature candidates for one open Columbus City Council seat and three open Columbus City School Board seats. Organized and led by young people, this event centers youth voices in shaping the future of our city.
The debate offers a critical opportunity for Central Ohio voters, especially those under 25, to hear directly from candidates on the issues impacting their schools, neighborhoods, and city.
Attendees under 25 can enter a raffle to win a Nintendo Switch.
The event will take place at Fort Hayes Education Center in the Performing Arts Auditorium, located in Building 7, Room 108.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get informed, get inspired, and get ready to vote.
