The Effingham County Chamber invites you to join us for our upcoming Candidate Forums, an opportunity to hear directly from local candidates running for public office. The forums take place on Thursday, April 23 from 5:00 to 7:00PM at The Herald Center and are free and open to the public.
Presented in a nonpartisan, moderated format, these forums are designed to provide residents, business leaders, and community members with the information they need to make informed decisions while fostering a transparent and engaged local government. Attendees will hear directly from candidates about the issues shaping Effingham County’s future and gain valuable insight ahead of election day.
The Chamber does not endorse candidates, but is committed to providing a fair and balanced platform for open dialogue so every voter has access to the information they need before casting a ballot.
