To better inform the voters before the Aug. 7 Coffee County General and Manchester Municipal Elections, the Manchester Times and Thunder Radio teamed up last night (July 24) for a candidate forum at the Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center.
In total, 23 candidates from seven county-wide races and one city race were invited to participate in the event.
Candidates for District Attorney, Manchester Alderman and County Mayor participated in the forum sessions.
Candidates for Coffee County Trustee, General Sessions Judge, Register of Deeds, Road Superintendent and County Clerk spoke between forum events.
If you could not make it to the event, hear the live broadcast on Thunder Radio or would just like to listen to the candidates again you can download any of the various segments on the downloads page at www.wmsrradio.com.
