Candidate Forums Help Voters Make a Decision

Voters in Jefferson County are getting a chance to know their candidates better. Two candidate forums were held last week at Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church and Mt. Gilead Baptist Church.
The candidates including those for Justice of the Peace, Commissioner, Treasurer, District Attorney and County Clerk told the audience why they are running and what their qualifications are for the job.
“The Senior Citizen Ministry, sponsors events such as this one to inform the general public on what’s going on and to get people registered to vote,” says Organizer Paul Jones.
The Ebenezer forum was hosted by 12 News Anchor Jackie Simien.
Remember early voting runs through Friday. The election will be held on March 2.
