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.
