At The Table: Lunch with the Candidates

What would you ask the people hoping to help shape Mammoth Lakes’ future?
Our next At The Table: Lunch with the Candidates brings that conversation to Burgers on Tuesday, September 29, from 12pm–1:30pm.

The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce has invited all eight candidates running in the Tuesday, November 3, 2026 Town Council election, giving our community an opportunity to hear their priorities, ask questions and talk with them directly.

Town Council makes decisions that shape our community’s future—from local priorities and public spending to the services and policies that affect how we live and do business. The Chamber is hosting this lunch to help residents and local businesses get to know the people seeking to make those decisions.

A Seat at the Table for Everyone
For this event, we’re extending our $25 all-inclusive member lunch price to everyone, instead of the usual $40 community price. We want the whole community to have a place in this conversation.

Prefer to attend without lunch? Admission is free.

Registration, however, is required for everyone, whether you’re purchasing lunch or attending the forum only.

What to Expect
Hear brief candidate introductions and their responses to moderated questions about Mammoth Lakes and our local business community. Then spend time speaking with candidates at their tables, asking your own questions and discussing what matters to you. You’ll be free to move between tables throughout this portion of the event.

Written responses to questions provided to candidates in advance will also be available for attendees.
