The Calhoun County Journal has partnered with the City of Oxford to host candidate forums. The forums will allow the community to learn more about the candidates and what their individual stances on current issues are. The forums are open to all parties running and all candidates have been invited to participate. The second scheduled forum, Alabama House 40, will be held on April 7, 2022, in the City of Oxford at the Oxford Performing Arts Center.
The Calhoun Journal will be submitting a list of questions to the moderators for random selection. The questions will be gathered from the voting community through our website. If you wish to have a question asked to the candidates, please go to the “Candidate Forum” page and choose which forum you would like to ask a question (people may ask a question for each forum). All questions submitted through the website will be printed and delivered to the moderator. Neither Calhoun County Journal nor the candidates will have advanced knowledge of which questions will be asked to the candidates during the forum. The question form will be closed seven days prior to the event to ensure the moderator has enough time to prepare.
During the forum each candidate will have the opportunity to answer the same question and a possible rebuttal if one candidate addresses another candidate directly. The candidate’s responses will be based on a countdown timer to ensure each person has an equal opportunity to address a question.
The forums will be open to anyone in the public that would like to attend. Covid-19 guidelines are still in effect so if community members would like to attend the event in person, make sure to arrive early enough to secure a seat. The Calhoun County Journal will also be live streaming the forum for those who can’t attend the live event.
