Join us on Monday, March 9 at 6:00 PM for a Town Hall with James Fishback. This event will provide students and community members the opportunity to hear directly from Fishback as he discusses his political campaign, core morals and values, and the broader issues impacting Florida and the country. While there is no single specific topic for the evening, the discussion will focus on current political challenges, the direction of the state and nation, and the principles guiding his campaign.

The town hall format will allow for open dialogue and audience engagement, including an open mic Q&A session where attendees can step forward to ask questions and share their perspectives. This creates an opportunity for meaningful conversation about the future of public policy and leadership.

Admission is free, but seating is limited. We encourage you to sign up in advance to reserve your seat and bring a friend or two to be part of the conversation.
