Recent News & Events

The Candidates Forum, sponsored by the Gates County Index and The Gates County Chamber of Commerce, is fast approaching. Questions are needed from the public. Send your questions to Marie Allen at gates.chamber.marie@gmail.com or the Chamber at PO box 334, Gatesville, NC 27938, or call Marie at 252-506-1592 or 252-435-4603.

 

Questions should be non-candidate specific. The forum is free and open to the public.

 

It will take place at the Gates County Courthouse in Gatesville, NC at 6 pm September 26, 2024. This is an opportunity to submit questions to the candidates running for County Commissioner and Register of Deeds.

 

A pool of questions will be put together to be asked of candidates at the forum. Questions will be provided to all candidates before the  event and each candidate will draw questions at random to be asked by the moderator. Each candidate will be provided an opportunity to make an opening and closing remark.
