Owensboro Times is hosting a live Virtual Town Hall on Oct. 13 with the candidates in Owensboro’s mayoral and city commission races ahead of the General Election.
The OT Virtual Town Hall presented by Castlen Steel and Daniel Dick – State Farm Insurance Agent will be held at the Theatre Workshop of Owensboro’s Empress Theatre.
The event will be broadcast live on the OT Facebook page in three segments throughout the day, with exact times to be announced at a later date.
The 16 candidates for city commission will be divided into two groups of eight, which will make up the first two segments of the day. The four mayoral candidates will participate in the evening segment.
All three segments will remain on our Facebook page and will be uploaded to owensborotimes.com.
Candidates will be given topic categories ahead of time, but specific questions will be asked for the first time during the event. Questions will be sealed and drawn randomly during the event.
OT has designated specific team members to work in conjunction with the event moderators to formulate questions. We will also be requesting questions from the public — both ahead of time with a submission form that will be shared at a later date, as well as in the comment section during the live stream.
Moderating the event will be Travis Chaney and Drew Watson, business partners at Dynamic Directions and Align Wealth Management – a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC. Chaney is also a co-founder of OT.
Candidates’ placement on stage will be determined by random draw on the day of the event. OT strived to give city commission candidates their first choice for which segment they wanted to participate in based on availability.
Due to current guidelines, the public will not be able to attend the Virtual Town Hall in person.
More details will be provided at a later date.
