The six candidates running for the three open Village Council seats, Mary Cameron, Michael Gautreaux, Chuck Houska, Jack Ingle, Bill Lawry, and Mike Rogers, and the two candidates running for Mayor of Clemmons, John Bost, and Nick Nelson, will answer pre-selected questions, offer summaries of their platform and meet and greet the public after the discussion.

The Clemmons Candidate Forum is headed by Kristen Russ, civics teacher and her civics class students. This is the third time that Russ and West Forsyth High School have conducted a forum.
