Candidates running for various elected positions this coming November, turned out at the county health department Monday night. The African American Accountability alliance PAC hosted a forum where candidates were invited to speak to people with hopes of getting their vote. Not all the candidates showed up, but the ones who did gave a short speech and took questions from the audience.
Organizers hope these gathering will let people know what going on in their communities. The 4-A's ultimately endorsed Alachua county commission candidates Cynthia Chestnut and Lee Pinkoson and school board candidate Rick Nesbit. They will host a get out to vote event October 24th at the Downtown Plaza from 1 to 5pm.
