The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Chattanooga Chapter, Inc. is hosting a political forum for candidates vying for seats on the Hamilton County School Board and the Tennessee State House of Representatives.
The forum will take place on Monday, July 9 at Orchard Knob Missionary Baptist Church, 1734 E. Third St. from 5-7:30 p.m.
All qualified candidates have been invited to participate. The forum will be moderated by Chattanooga native Wade Hinton, who serves as the City attorney.
Each candidate will be allowed to briefly share their platform.
In addition, the public will be granted the opportunity to submit questions to the candidates. Questions will be screened in order to prevent duplication of questions asked.
"The public is strongly encouraged to attend and submit questions. We do not endorse, nor do we contribute to political campaigns. Our role is to provide a venue where the public can be educated on candidates’ platforms," officials said.
