Want to know where Colorado’s next governor will stand on public education and education reform? On specifics like per-pupil funding, school choice and standardized testing? There’s a good chance you’ll find out if you tune into Ready Colorado‘s Gubernatorial Town Hall Series, which debuts this evening via radio, phone and Facebook.

The interview-format virtual town hall will be broadcast live on talk radio’s 630 KHOW from 7-8 p.m. tonight with an assist from KHOW regular Ross Kaminsky. Meanwhile, Ready Colorado will also be dialing out to tens of thousands of households for a parallel tele-townhall, and the event will be streamed live, as well, on Ready Colorado’s Facebook page at Facebook.com/ReadyColo.

The conservative, education-reform group is hosting the series to let each hopeful in the 2018 guv’s race stump for his/her world view on Colorado’s public schools.

Adds a Ready Colorado press announcement:

The series of townhalls is the first of its kind in Colorado history, utilizing multiple mediums to reach voters in recognition of the changing media landscape where voters seek to inform themselves through a growing array of sources.

Ready Colorado, the leading conservative education reform organization in the state, is embarking on the series to get the leading candidates for governor on the record on their vision for education reform and give the public a chance to ask the tough questions on the issues that matter most to them.

Kicking off the series tonight will be Republican contender and Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler. The next town hall is scheduled for Sept. 12 featuring another GOP candidate, Douglas County entrepreneur Victor Mitchell, and the third in the series will be Sept. 26 with Republican and former investment banker Doug Robinson.
