Meet the Candidates Forum

Join the Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce for the 2026 Palm Desert City Council Candidate Forum, an opportunity for community members to hear directly from the candidates seeking to serve on the Palm Desert City Council. This free public event is designed to help voters become informed about the issues, priorities, and perspectives of each candidate before Election Day. 

During the forum, candidates will respond to a series of questions selected in advance from community submissions, covering a broad range of topics important to Palm Desert residents and businesses. The format is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion and provide attendees with a clear understanding of each candidate's vision for the future of our city. 

The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce is a nonpartisan organization and does not endorse or support any candidate. This forum serves as a neutral platform for civic engagement, education, and community dialogue.
