North 65 Chamber of Commerce Hosts Candidate Forums Ahead of 2024 Election Day

The North 65 Chamber of Commerce hosted two nights of Candidate Forums aimed at fostering civic engagement and providing a platform for local candidates to share their vision with the community.

The Candidate Forums were viewable in person or via livestream.
Recordings of both nights are available on the North 65 Chamber of Commerce YouTube page and links to these recordings are posted at North65Chamber.com.

These sessions provided opportunities for residents to meet and hear from the candidates running for local offices in the upcoming election.

The candidates were given time to introduce themselves and highlight their qualifications before participating in a moderated Q&A session.  Questions covering a wide range of topics were discussed and each candidate had the opportunity to present their ideas, answer questions from the audience, and engage in meaningful dialogue on key issues affecting the community, including economic development, education, and public safety.

Candidates running for local offices were invited to participate on the following dates:
Thursday, September 26, 2024
