From The Tribune staff reports
TRUSSVILLE — The Trussville Tribune will host live political forums ahead of municipal elections, from The Tribune studio. All candidates for contested seats in Trussville, Clay, Pinson, Argo, Center Point, Springville, Leeds and Moody are invited to attend. The dates and time slots for the seats and candidates are listed below.
“We are aware that there will be some larger community forums, which the Tribune will also be involved with,” Tribune publisher Scott Buttram said. “However, these in-studio forums allow us to go seat by contested seat with the candidates next to each other and explore who they are, their plans for their respective cities, and what they stand for. In 2016, voters told us that they appreciated the opportunity to learn more in-depth information about each candidate for office.”
The forums will be streamed on www.TrussvilleTribune.com, The Trussville Tribune Facebook page, The Leeds Tribune Tribune Facebook page and on The Trussville Tribune Twitter page.
If you are a candidate, please email news@trussvilletribune.com to confirm your attendance. You will be asked to arrive at The Trussville Tribune studio at 190 Main Street, Trussville, AL 35173, 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time.
