The Shadow
The Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce & Tourism is hosting three Candidates Forum events on September 4th , September 5th, and September 9th . The Candidates Forums are being sponsored by the Chamber as an effort to encourage citizens to become more involved in local government by learning about the issues and positions of local candidates. The public is encouraged to attend.

Members of the public will be allowed to submit written questions at the forum: a panel will review the questions before they are posed to the candidates. The moderator will pose the same question to each of the candidates and each candidate will have a limited time to respond. At the end of the forum, each candidate will be given three minutes to present statements about their candidacy and explain why they are running for office and their position on various issues.
Bring questions with you to submit to the review panel or submit them ahead of time to the Chamber by emailing mnobles@ahchamber.com . Please call the Chamber office at (540) 962-2178 if you have any questions or need additional information.
