Fairfield University hosted a forum for state and local representatives on Wednesday night.

The event included candidates running for the 28th state Senate seat and representatives running for the 132nd, 133rd, and 134th districts.

School officials said the event gave candidates a chance to connect with the Fairfield community.

"We really focus on critical thinking on civil discourse within our community. So, it's important for both our community here on campus, but also our local community," said marketing and communication Vice President Jennifer Anderson.

The university is also holding an event for the 2024 election on Oct. 16. One of the hosts will be News 12’s Mark Sudol.
