The Charlotte Observer along with Neighborhood TV and WSOC will be hosting a Huntersville mayoral forum on Friday, Oct. 20th. This year Huntersville will elect a new mayor in November to guide the town in the coming years. Incumbent Mayor Melinda Bales is not running for reelection, leaving an opening for newcomer candidates Dan Boone, Christy Clark and Derek Partee. Hear all three talk about issues facing Huntersville and answer questions at a forum discussion on Friday, Oct. 20 at 11 a.m. at Red Rocks Cafe in Birkdale Village, 8712 Lindholm Dr, Huntersville, NC 28078.
The forum will be moderated by the Observer’s local government editor Josh Bergeron and WSOC’s Joe Bruno. Submit any questions you think should be asked by sending an email to [email protected] with “Huntersville mayor” in the subject line.
My take: The Town of Huntersville is pretty key to the future prosperity of Northern Mecklenburg County and ultimately the region. This forum presents itself as an opportunity to see where the candidates stand on relevant issues. If you live or work in Huntersville, it would be worth the trip to attend.
