At least three candidate forums are planned for this month as the May 24 election approaches.
On Saturday, Apr. 9, the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement will host mayoral candidates from 1–2 p.m. at the Athens-Clarke County Library. At least four candidates will attend, but Mara Zúñiga declined and Fred Moorman has not confirmed.
The preservation group Historic Athens is holding a candidate forum Monday, Apr. 11 at its office in Firehall No. 2 on Prince Avenue. School board candidates will go on at 5:30 p.m., commission candidates at 6:30 p.m. and mayoral candidates at 7:30 p.m. Seating is limited, so attendees should RSVP. For those who can’t attend, Historic Athens is posting candidates’ responses on its Facebook page.
A week later, on Apr. 18, is an Athens Area Chamber of Commerce forum in Piedmont Athens Regional’s John Drew Auditorium on King Avenue, starting at 6:30 p.m.
