This fall, campaign ads will be on TV and candidates will appear on

door—DON’T! Election season is a prime opportunity for American Heart
Association supporters to jump right in to help inform candidates
about why fighting heart disease and stroke is a priority!
The American Heart Association, in partnership with other local health
organization, is hosting a candidate forum to help you learn where
your candidates’ stand on health policy issues, like smokefree
policies and physical education requirements! We need you to show up

forward to your friends, family, and colleagues!
