The Millbrook Men’s Club will host a political forum this evening at 7 p.m. at Village Green for all Millbrook Municipal Candidates. In the event of rain, the event will be moved to the Millbrook Civic Center. The event will also be live-streamed on the Millbrook Men’s Club Facebook page.
According to organizer Brannon Bowman, he has spoken with all candidates in the elections, and they have said they have plans to attend. This is a great opportunity to hear the candidates’ platforms. This is not a debate, and there will be no questions during the actual event. However, candidates will be available to speak at their tables prior to the event from 6 to 7 p.m. and afterward.
Below is a complete list of candidates who have qualified for Millbrook Municipal elections, and are expected to speak tonight at the Forum. Exempted from the forum, as they have no opposition, are Councilman Hal Hodge and Jimmy Harris.
