Reset: Voices of a New Columbus Candidate Debate

Columbus Stand Up! presents the second annual youth-led candidate debate ahead of the 2025 general election — and you're invited!

This year’s debate will feature two Columbus City Council candidates and six Columbus City School Board candidates. Organized and led by young people, the event centers youth voices in shaping the future of our city.

The debate is a critical opportunity for Central Ohio voters, especially those under 25, to hear directly from candidates on the issues impacting their schools, neighborhoods, and city. Attendees under 25 can enter a raffle to win a Nintendo Switch 2.

📍 Location: Fort Hayes Education Center, Performing Arts Auditorium (Building 7, Room 108)

🎟️ Tickets: Secure your spot here
