Candidates for local office participated in a forum in Knightstown on Thursday evening, seeking to connect with voters ahead of the upcoming election. The event, held at the Knightstown Town Hall, provided an opportunity for residents to ask questions and learn about the candidates’ platforms.

“Engagement with the community is vital for understanding the issues that matter most,” said mayoral candidate Alex Johnson during the forum.

Candidates included those running for mayor, town council, and school board. Each candidate had a set time to present their vision, followed by a question-and-answer session with attendees. Topics ranged from economic development to public safety, highlighting the key concerns of local residents.

The forum was organized by the Knightstown Civic Association, which aimed to encourage civic participation among residents. “We want to ensure that every voice is heard and that voters are informed before they head to the polls,” said association president Mary Smith.

The elections are scheduled for November 8, with early voting already underway in the region. Knightstown, a town with a population of approximately 2,200, has a history of active community engagement during election cycles.

Local officials encourage residents to take part in the democratic process and express their opinions on the issues facing the town.

This event marks one of several forums planned in the lead-up to the election, reflecting the candidates’ commitment to transparency and community involvement.
