Citizens Get Chance To Ask Questions At Candidate Forums

Oconee County Board of Commissioner candidates will meet virtually in a forum on Monday night during which citizens will have the opportunity to direct their questions to the candidates.

The citizen-organized forum will begin at 8 p.m. on Zoom with County Commission Post 3 candidates Jacob Douylliez, Amrey Harden, and Aaron Nowak introducing themselves and then responding to questions from citizens.

Douylliez is running as a Democrat, while Harden and Nowak are running as Republicans in the nonprimaried special election.

The second part of the forum, beginning at 7:45 p.m., will feature the two candidates for the Chair of the Board of Commissioners, incumbent John Daniell, the Republican Party nominee, and Eric Gisler, the Democratic Party nominee.

The Oconee County Chamber of Commerce and the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce will hold a mixed virtual/in person forum from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays for area legislative candidates as well as for candidates for the Western Judicial Circuit District Attorney.

A second Oconee County citizen-organized virtual forum for candidates for House District 117, House District 119, and Senate District 46 is set for 8 to 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 19.
