Candidate Forum
The Petoskey and Charlevoix Chambers of Commerce are working together with North Central Michigan College to host a Candidate Forum for those running in the August primary election.
The Forum and Meet and Greet event will be held Monday, June 20th, 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the Iron Horse Café at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey. The Meet and Greet will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the forum will begin at 6:30 p.m. The event is open to the public and there is no cost to attend.
The event will also be live-streamed here: https://youtu.be/dxqgSUMgOiI
Organizers say they have invited candidates for the 37th State Senate race, the 107th State House race, Emmet County Commission, and Charlevoix County Commission races. Candidates for County Commission races will be participating in the Meet and Greet only, while the other candidates will also participate in a moderated forum.
Nikki Devitt, President, Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Sarah Van Horn, President, Charlevoix Area Chamber of Commerce are leading the coordination efforts for the forum. They emphasize that the event is designed to be non-biased and non-partisan. “Our goal is to give voters an opportunity to learn about the candidates and to get an understanding of where they stand on key issues,” Devitt said. “The event will be fair and balanced, so voters can make their own choices.”
Van Horn noted that no questions will be allowed from the audience, so if a voter has a specific question or issue, they would like to discuss, they are urged to come to the informal Meet and Greet session and talk to the candidates directly.
The primary election will be held Tue. Aug. 2nd.
