Candidates speak at Fairhope “candi-dating” forum

Candidates for local, state and federal offices spoke with constituents at a “candi-dating” forum in Fairhope.

The forum

The event was described as a “candi-dating” forum, a gathering where residents could hear from candidates seeking offices at different levels of government. The forum took place in Fairhope.

Offices represented

The event included candidates for local, state and federal positions. The candidates were presented together as participants in the Fairhope forum, rather than as part of one identified race.

What residents heard

The event gave constituents an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates. Specific candidate statements, policy positions and race details are not identified in the available account of the forum.

Why the level of office matters

Local, state and federal officials serve different governments and handle different responsibilities. Voters can use candidate forums to learn which office each person is seeking and how that office relates to issues in the community.
