The question and answer period will be broken into four separate areas of inquiry, with two questions in each area. Each candidate will be allowed two minutes to answer each question. The questions will be prepared by the hosts prior to the events and be provided to the candidates before the events, so each candidate can prepare their respective responses. There will be no questions taken from the audience during the events.

Farm Bureau is providing the moderator for events on June 13 & 19, and WWNY-TV the moderators on June 14 (Lexi Bruening) & June 15 (John Moore).
