PRESS RELEASE: CROSSVILLE/CUMBERLAND CO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Seven of the eight candidates for this November’s City Council election have committed to attend the Crossville-Cumberland County Chamber’s Candidate Forum, Tuesday night (6:00-8:00 p.m.) at the Cumberland County Playhouse. Each candidate participating will be given a two-minute introduction and permitted a two-minute closing statement.

Eight questions were selected by the Chamber’s Public Policy Council on Friday (these are attached) and were immediately provided to each candidate. Chamber President, Brad Allamong explained, “We did receive a number of questions from the public, but in the time available, the questions had to be condensed down to key topics that appeared in many of the public’s greatest areas of concern.”  The Forum format does not lend itself to a “candidate debate”; but, more of an opportunity for the candidates to present their key thoughts on how to make our community a better place.  The Moderator for the event will be John Fionte and Timekeeper, Nicole Hackmann, both from the Playhouse. The Forum will be streamed live on CNF and available on the Crossville News First website BY CLICKING HERE

The Forum is sponsored by the Chamber as a public event for the community and residents who will vote in the upcoming November election. There is no fee and open to anyone wishing to attend.
