Tuesday night, March 11, 2025, the Magee Courier and Simpson County News sponsored a meet the candidates and hear what they have to say!!!
The people came but not so true of the candidates. All 4 mayor candidates were in attendance. (Dale Berry, Mark Grubbs, Jim Snider, and Joe Worrell). Alderman at Large Sue Honea who does not have an opponent was present. Ward 1 candidate Allyson Berch was present. Ward 1 candidates Chris Craft and Frank Duane Simmons did not attend. Beth Moore and Lawana Thompson, Ward 2, attended. Rachael “Suzie” Bourne , Ward 3, was the only one in her ward to participate. Word 3 candidates Slovaki Griffith and Lane Steele chose not to attend. Two candidates from Ward 4, Melinda Green and Julian Harper, participated. Cortez Chatman was a no show.
Wards 1 and 4 are wide open. With Mark Grubbs vacating his position as Alderman Ward 1 and the retirement of long time Aldermen Patrick Brown these wards will see a new face.
All candidates were in agreement with infrastructure goals, clean up, and up keep of city buildings.
Penny Aguire and I did a Let’s Talk about the forum. Check out the interview!
I think the Courier live streamed the forum on their Facebook page.
The election is only a few weeks away. Please encourage people to vote.
