Forums Put UC Voters Face-to-Face with Local Issues

The UCNow.Com, News Talk 94.1, 96-9 Highway 111 Country and 101.9/AM 920 WLIV are proud to announce a special series of political forums highlighting key races across the Upper Cumberland.

The forums will be held in the final days before Election Day, giving you the chance to consider your decision. Stonecom President Larry Stone will sit down with the candidates for thoughtful, in-depth conversations about the issues that matter most to our communities. These forums will give voters an opportunity to hear directly from the people seeking to represent them.

“The decisions made in our city halls and county courthouses affect our daily lives far more directly than much of the political noise and chatter coming from Washington – and increasingly from Nashville,” Stone said. “These local leaders make decisions about our schools, roads, public safety, growth and taxes. These races matter.”
Your questions will be the biggest part of the forum, giving you the chance to hear how the candidates react to your concerns. Submit questions at TheUCNow.Com or on our social media.

The forums include races across the region, trying to provide as many voters with as much information as possible. The schedule begins Monday, July 27.

Monday July 27 5:30pm White County Executive
Tuesday July 28 5:30pm Jackson County Mayor, 6:30pm Clay County Mayor
Monday August 3 5:30pm Overton County Executive, 6:30pm Overton County Sheriff
Tuesday August 4 5:30pm Cookeville City Council
Wednesday Aug 5 5:30pm Putnam County Mayor

The forums all air on News Talk 94.1/AM 1600 and 96-9 Highway 111 Country. The Overton County forums will also air on 101.9/AM 920 WLIV. The forums will also be available in the audio section at TheUCNow.Com.
