Now we get to see what folks are about.
On Tuesday Oct 24th from 7-9 we get to hear (hopefully) Bill Cowsert and Jane Kidd for state Senate in District 46, Ralph Hudgens and Mac Rawson in District 47, and for state House, Bob Smith and Becky Vaughn in District 113, and E.H. Culpepper, Doug McKillip, and Regina Quick in District 115.
On Wednesday, Oct. 25, from 7-9 we get to hear Tom Chasteen, Heidi Davison, Richard DeRose, Charlie Maddox, and Andy Rusk for the mayor race, James Garland and Doug Lowry for ACC District 1 commish, and for ACC District 9, Kelly Girtz, Chuck Jones, Alvin Sheats and Ed Vaughan.
After reading articles from various papers, it seems that the candidates are invited but may not necessarily show. I hope they all come because I plan on sending questions to see if I can get any through. Come check 'em out at the Melting Point at the Foundry Park Inn (and the Athens Steam Pub) at the intersection of North Ave and Dougherty St. I plan on enjoying a beer during the debates if the restaurant/host allows it.
I found all this useful info from Ben's write-up in this week's issue of Flagpole. Thanks Ben.
Straight from his article:
The candidate forums will be hosted by Tim Bryant of WGAU 1340 AM and broadcast live on the station both evenings. Participating media include representatives from Flagpole, The Athens Banner-Herald, The Red & Black, WBKZ and WGAU. But not only will members of the local press be asking the hard questions of the candidates, youÂ’ll have a chance, too. See below for details on how you can get in on the action.
