Forum for Republican Candidates for Catawba County Board of Commissioners

Important to note:

The candidates

  • There are 7 Republican candidates in this race for three seats.

  • The three winners of the primary election will be on the ballot for the general election, November 3.

  • There is no primary for Democratic Candidates. Those three candidates go directly to the ballot for the November general election.

  • All candidates on the March ballot for this position have been sent invitations to the forum.

Asking questions

  • The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions. With so many candidates, the number of potential questions may be capped.

Beyond being in Newton
