Athens Mayoral Race Heats Up with Upcoming Debate
As the countdown to the end of Athens Mayor Kelly Girtz’s term begins, the city gears up for an engaging mayoral debate. This pivotal event for the candidates vying for the mayoral seat will take place at Athens’ Ciné on Saturday evening, from 5-7 pm.
The debate promises to be an insightful session, moderated by Drew Abney and Russell Edwards. Known for their local podcast, AthChat, which delves into Athens politics and culture, the duo is set to guide the discussion among the candidates.
The candidates participating in this debate include Dexter Fisher, Tim Denson, LaKeisha Gantt, and Mara Zuniga. Notably absent from the list is Sharon Miller, a senior pastor at an African Methodist church in Athens, who will not be part of this event.
Residents and interested parties are encouraged to attend this free event, which will be held at the Ciné theatre located in downtown Athens. It represents an excellent opportunity for the public to engage directly with those looking to lead their city.
