Government works best when citizens participate. Forward Janesville and our Government Relations Council (GRC) are focused on civic engagement at the local level. We play an educational role in helping our members and the community learn about the candidates running for non-partisan offices in the spring election cycle. You’ll also find general voting information and Janesville-specific voting information to make participating as easy as possible.
Updates to this page will be frequent as the election cycle progresses. Check back often for new information and resources. Last update 3/7/25.

Learn about the candidates and their perspectives on key community issues by reading our Janesville City Council Candidate Q&A or our Janesville School Board Candidate Q&A, attending a public candidate forum, and digesting articles & interviews. Forward Janesville does not host candidate forums, write articles or conduct interviews, but we will publicize forum information and link to articles and interviews on this webpage as information becomes available. We do not endorse candidates.
These forums are open to the public.
