An election-time tradition in Peachtree City will once again give residents a chance to grill candidates for the mayor and city council races in the Nov. 3 contest.

The Rotary Club of Peachtree City is hosting a meet the candidates forum Tuesday, Oct. 6 from 6:45 to 9:15 at the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center.

All candidates for council have been invited to attend the event, which is free of charge. The forum follows a question-and-answer format, and candidates are typically given the opportunity for opening and closing remarks.

Citizens can submit their own questions for consideration at the event. The questions will be vetted by a three-person panel of Rotarians; only issue-related questions will be accepted for presentation to the candidates.

The event is being sponsored by the Rotary Club’s Get Out The Vote committee.
No matter what happens on election day, the city is assured of a new mayor as current mayor Harold Logsdon has decided not to run again.

And due to the mayoral aspirations of current councilman Don Haddix, who had to resign mid-term, three of the four council seats will be up for election as well.

The only person guaranteed a spot on the City Council Jan. 1 is current Councilman Doug Sturbaum, who is in the middle of his four-year term.
