Knox County Community Candidate Forum
The South Knoxville Neighborhood and Business Coalition (SKNBC) invites you to attend a Candidate Forum featuring candidates for Knox County Mayor and Knox County School Board District 9.
This forum is an opportunity for residents to hear directly from the candidates, learn where they stand on issues affecting our community, and ask questions about the topics that matter most to voters before the August election.
The forum will be moderated by Leslie Wylie Bateman, Publisher and Editor of Inside of Knoxville, who will guide the discussion and present questions submitted by the community.
We encourage community members to submit questions in advance so we can address the issues most important to Knoxville and Knox County residents.

Additional questions may also be submitted during the event and will be reviewed as time permits.
Whether your interests include education, public safety, economic development, transportation, housing, infrastructure, parks, or the future of Knox County, we hope you'll join us for this important community conversation.
