I have decided to run for State Representative and often get questions
from other candidates regarding ways government can be made more
efficient. Do you think there is merit in technology groups such as
Apache holding forums to educate elected officials on the value of
open source?

I know that this isn't an answer to your question, but ...
I strongly recommend Jason Hibbets' book "The Foundation for an Open
Source City".
He keynoted at ApacheCon in Denver, and I would be glad to put you in
touch with him. He thinks a lot about this topic, and has met with many
government officials about applying the principles of Open Source to
government.
We also had another talk at ApacheCon on this topic, although at this
moment I can't remember who gave that talk.
