Mayoral forum set for next week

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

— A public forum for Gravette Mayoral Candidates will be held next Tuesday, Oct. 19, at the Gravette Civic Center.

The announcement came from the Gravette American Legion Post 25, which said the event will be held at 7 p.m. The public is being encouraged to attend. All four candidates for the Mayoral position have confirmed they will participate, said J. R. Gibbs, Adjutant of the Legion Post.

“The forum is to allow voters the opportunity to meet the candidates and hear their thoughts and visions for Gravette,” Gibbs said. “It promises to be very informative.”

Questions may come directly from the citizens. Robert Kelley has agreed to moderate the evening’s conversation.

“These candidates have stepped up to the plate. We owe it to them, to ourselves, the community and combat veterans throughout America’s history to honor our inherited right to vote,” Gibbs said. “Be an informed voter and tell a friend,” he added.
