Thursday night’s municipal candidate forum will be live-streamed on the Fayette Advertiser’s Facebook page for those unable to attend in person.

The forum will include candidates for Fayette municipal races for Mayor and City Marshal.

Incumbent Mayor Greg Stidham and write-in challenger Brian Cummiskey will answer questions during the first segment. Unopposed candidates for city council will then be welcomed to give brief remarks, followed by a forum between acting City Marshal Bo Wells and challenger Brandon Abbott, a Fayette police officer.

The election on Tuesday, April 7, will decide the two contested races.

Sponsored by the GFWC Golden Study Club, the event will be moderated by Justin Addison, Editor and Publisher of the Fayette Advertiser. It is open to the public, and all voters are encouraged to attend.

The forum will feature initial questions prepared in advance by a designated committee, with additional questions drawn from submissions by audience members. To maintain order and professionalism, no direct exchanges or follow-up questions from the audience will be permitted.

Polls will be open on Election Day from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. The last day to vote absentee–in person is Monday, April 6, before the clerk’s office closes at 5 p.m. See sample ballots on Page 4 of this newspaper.
