Roswell Candidate Forums Begin Tuesday

Two forums take place this week and another is scheduled for Oct. 29.

The Roswell Woman's Club is sponsoring the first of several candidates debates in Roswell leading up to the Nov. 5 election.

The RWC event takes place Tuesday at 7 p.m. at City Hall, with North Fulton journalist Hatcher Hurd moderating.

All six candidates running for three seats on the Roswell City Council have been invited to the Forum, as well as Mayor Jere Wood, who is running unopposed.

Questions from Roswell residents may be submitted in advance, either through the club’s website, roswellwomansclub.org, or the evening of the Forum before it begins.

Candidates for office will make brief opening statements, then give timed responses to questions selected and posed by the moderator.

Doors to City Hall will open at 6 p.m.
