Published 10:17 am Friday, July 27, 2012

The Demopolis Area Chamber will host a political forum on Monday, Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Demopolis Civic Center.

Both mayoral candidates and the candidates running for city council in districts 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 have been invited to the forum, and are expected to attend. District 4 will not have a candidate present because the incumbent, Bill Meador, is running unopposed.

Those running for the August 28 elections will be allotted three minutes each for speeches during the forum.
