JANESVILLE — The Rock County Civics Academy will host a candidate forum on Thursday, Jan. 22, at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater at Rock County. The event is scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Allen Commons, located at 2909 Kellogg Ave.
Candidates expected to attend are:

- Ben Dobson for Janesville City Council
- Reese Wood for Janesville
- Larry Squire Candidate for Janesville City Council (incumbent)

According to a news release, candidates will respond to questions provided by the academy as well as inquiries submitted by audience members and approved by organizers. Each candidate will have one minute to answer a question drawn and will be given two minutes for a closing statement.
Moderators will draw questions at random and determine whether they should be directed to a single candidate or multiple candidates. Organizers said that all questions are structured so they can be answered by any participant, and no questions will be directed at a specific individual.
The forum is being recorded for later broadcast on JATV and will also be available on the Rock County Civics Academy website.
