The questions will be selected randomly from a list given to all candidates, based on submissions from members of the community.

Questions to ask the candidates are being sought, and must be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce, 465 Nevada Way, or Boulder City Review, 508 Nevada Way, Suite 1, by 5 p.m. Feb. 27. They also can be emailed to chamber CEO Jill Rowland-Lagan at jill@bouldercitychamber.com or Editor Hali Bernstein Saylor at hsaylor@bouldercityreview.com.

Representatives also will be able to discuss family law, bankruptcy, consumer issues, landlord/tenant issues and public benefits.

The veterans home is at 100 Veterans Memorial Drive.
