The Mayoral candidates will begin at 6:00 pm and will continue until approximately 6:35 pm.  There will be a short intermission and then the six candidates running for city council positions will be brought forward.  Questions will be posed from the Chamber membership as well as the public.  The event is open to the public and they are encouraged to attend.  This event is sponsored by the Government Affairs Committee with the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce.  Scott Rain, chairman of the committee, states, "This year's Chamber of Commerce candidate forum is a great opportunity for the community to hear each candidate's position on the issues facing Kerrville.  While this is not a debate, it is an open forum for the public to meet and learn more about all the candidates for this year's city elections.  We encourage everyone to come out and meet the candidates and listen to them address questions from the community."
