Three of the seven Democrats vying to challenge Republican incumbent David Perdue for a U.S. Senate seat will appear in an April 20 virtual candidate forum co-hosted by a local political group.

Jon Ossoff, Sarah Riggs Amico and Teresa Tomlinson will appear in the forum, which comes ahead of the June 9 primary election. The host will be Halie Soifer, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Jewish Democratic Council of America, a forum co-sponsor. The other sponsoring organization is the Jewish Democratic Women’s Salon of Atlanta.

The forum, conducted via the Zoom teleconferencing service, will be free and open to anyone, but registration is required at tiny.cc/GASenateForum. The forum is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Registrants can submit questions for the candidates via email.
