“A community informed is better equipped to make right choices.” Organizer Elder J.B. Brockman says, “we had a real good turn out last year for our first Political Forum Night which featured the Covington and Porterdale candidates and we wanted to make sure we came back to highlight the Newton County candidates. Our format allows candidates to be in a non-combative environment to discuss just the issues and not each other. The citizens are the ones who win. They leave informed.”
