The forum will take place on Saturday, January 18 at the Fairfield Arts and Convention center. Doors open at 7:00am with the event beginning at 7:30am. This is a unique opportunity for Fairfield residents to hear directly from state legislators about their work at the Capitol, legislative priorities, and issues impacting the local community. Attendees will also have the chance to ask questions during a public Q&A session.
