The Hollywood Partnership Hollywood Chamber of Commerce

2026 Candidate
Forum Series

Eight conversations with the candidates who will shape Hollywood’s next chapter — and a chance for Hollywood to be heard.

About the Series

Our Candidate Forum Series is designed to give the Hollywood community an opportunity to hear directly from candidates and, more importantly, for candidates to hear directly from Hollywood.

The Hollywood Partnership and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce are co-hosting eight forums with candidates for Mayor of Los Angeles, California State Senate and Los Angeles City Attorney. Each is a working conversation, not a stump speech — an hour to put the district’s priorities in front of the people asking for your vote.

  • Eight forums, September 14 – October 2, 2026
  • One hour each, in person in Hollywood
  • Open to property owners, businesses, residents and workers
  • Free to attend — RSVP required, space is limited

Before You Come

What to Expect

A Working Hour

Each forum runs one hour: brief opening remarks from the candidate, moderated questions on the issues facing the district, then time for the room.

Your Questions

Bring them. Attendees are invited to submit questions in advance with their RSVP, and there is open floor time at every forum.

Nonpartisan by Design

These forums are informational. The Hollywood Partnership and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce do not endorse candidates. Every candidate is offered the same format and time, and campaign websites are linked for your reference only.
