The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce will host a series of forums over the next few weeks featuring candidates from several local races in the upcoming November general election.
The forums begin on Monday, Sept. 26 with the candidates in the State Representative race in District 85, and will conclude on Oct. 20 with the Fayetteville mayoral candidates.
The forums will take place in the conference room at the chamber’s former office building, at 123 W. Mountain Street, just west of the downtown square.
The forums will each last an hour, and will include 5-minute opening and closing statements from each candidate.
The candidates will answer questions asked by an impartial moderator for about 30 minutes, followed by a question and answer period with members of the public in attendance.
The full schedule of candidate forums is listed below. For more information about the candidate forums, contact Taylor Shelton from the Chamber of Commerce at 479-521-1710 ext. 219.
