The Libby Area Chamber of Commerce will host a Libby City Candidate Forum at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21 at the Maki Theater.

The forum will provide an opportunity for community members to hear directly from candidates running for Libby City Council and Mayor of Libby.

The general election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 4. It is an all mail-out election and ballots will be sent on Oct. 16.

Candidates for mayor include incumbent Peggy Williams as well as councilor Hugh Taylor and Jonathan Jameson. The term is for four years.

City council candidates include incumbent Gail Burger as well as Brian S. Crompton, Brooke Bolin and Erica Schaefer. They are running for three seats, four years each.

The event will be hosted and moderated by Chamber Board Treasurer, Bruce Vincent, who will present questions to the candidates and guide the discussion. A list of questions will be provided to all candidates one week prior to the event.

“This forum is a great chance for residents to meet the candidates, learn about local issues and make informed decisions ahead of Election Day,” said Myranda Cravens, Executive Director of the Libby Area Chamber of Commerce. “We’re proud to host an event that encourages open dialogue and civic engagement in our community.”
