The race for the Presidency of the United States has garnered enough attention to fuel future history class discussions for a lifetime – but will anyone remember the local elections?

How many of us even know the local candidates?

The Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Candidate Forum next Monday, October 24th.

Dennis Beson, Chamber CEO, said that he hopes to see a lot of community involvement.

“We are allowing the people to come out, meet the candidates [again] and ask some tough questions…we will give you a 3×5 card when you’re coming in, write a question down and it may or may not make the podium based off of time…we’d like you to come out, we’ve got a pretty good range of candidates that are going to be there,” said Beson.

Local candidates for County Commission, County Attorney, and 68th District House of Representatives will be in attendance.

Other candidates for multi-county, statewide races may also be in attendance.

The event will be broadcast live on 1420 AM – The Talk of JC.

The forum will begin at 6:00 pm on Monday, October 24th at the C.L. Hoover Opera House in Junction City; doors will open at 5:30 pm.
