Community Forum for Local Council Candidates Scheduled for October 12 in Lexington, KY

Lexington, KY — A community forum for local council candidates will take place at Henry Clay High School on October 12, 2024. This event, organized to inform residents about the upcoming elections, aims to provide a platform for candidates to discuss their positions and answer questions from the public.

The forum is set to commence at 6:00 PM and is expected to draw a significant number of voters eager to engage with those vying for their votes. “It’s important for residents to understand where each candidate stands on key issues,” said a spokesperson for the event’s organizers.

The candidates participating in the forum will include individuals from various political backgrounds, allowing voters to hear a range of perspectives on local issues such as public safety, education, and infrastructure development. The event will be structured to allow candidates a limited amount of time to present their platforms followed by a Q&A session with attendees.

Residents are encouraged to submit questions in advance via email to ensure that a broad range of topics is covered. Organizers believe that this format increases transparency and promotes informed voting. “We want to create a dialogue between the candidates and the community,” the spokesperson added.

This forum not only offers candidates a chance to communicate their visions but also serves as a crucial opportunity for community engagement, fostering a sense of democracy among residents. Local community leaders and organizations are also expected to attend, further enhancing the dialogue surrounding the election.

The event is free to attend, and all Lexington residents are urged to come out, participate, and make their voices heard ahead of the upcoming November 2024 elections.
