The Signal Mountain High School Student Council is hosting a forum for the candidates running for Signal Mountain Town Council in the Nov. 6 election. The forum is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. in the school’s theater.
Ethan Fell, public relations officer for the Student Council, spoke about the forum during the town council’s Sept. 10 meeting, when the council also passed a resolution recognizing and commending the student council for their leadership roles at the school.
“What we’re trying to do is really make sure as many community members as possible are actively engaged in the political process,” Fell said of the forum.
Candidates for the three seats soon to come open on the town council are Joe Durek, Rob Hensley, incumbent Dan Landrum, former mayor Bill Lusk, Dun Monroe, Susannah Murdock and Richard Saputa. Citizens may email their questions for the candidates to Fell at ethanfell7@gmail.com. Community members in attendance may ask the candidates questions during the forum as well, he added.
“I would love for all the community members to come and spread the word as much as possible,” said Fell.
