All five candidates running for the two City Council seats up for election
Nov. 4 are expected to attend a political forum Tuesday hosted by the
Peachtree City Rotary Club.
The Rotary’s “Get Out the Vote” committee has traditionally
sponored a “Meet the Candidates” night each time city council
seats are up for grabs. This year’s forum will take place at the
Wyndham Hotel and Conference Center.
According to the Rotary Club, the forum will provide a “town hall”
atmosphere for the public to meet and question candidates prior to the
Nov. 4 election.
The Post 1 seat held for 13 years by Annie McMenamin, who is leaving office
on term limits, has three candidates in the running: James J. Adduci,
owner of Martini’s bar in Westpark Walk; Lee H. Poolman, a manager
in the finance department of Fulton County government; and Judi-Ann Rutherford,
office manager for the Fred Brown Jr. Amphitheather.
Running for Post 2 are incumbent Dan Tennant, a regional sales manager
for a manufacturer of corporate employee IDs, and Stuart Kourajian, a
senior project manager with SunTrust Bank.
Following tradition, the forum will be moderated by a Rotary Club past
president. A three-person panel of Rotarians will field prepared questions
before taking open questions from the audience. Only issue-related questions
will be accepted.
Another opportunity to grill the candidates will come Saturday, Nov. 1,
when the Fayette County Republican Party host its First Saturday Breakfast
at the International House of Pancakes Restaurant in Fayetteville, beginning
at 8:30 a.m.
In addition to the Peachtree City council candidates, the candidates for
City Council in Fayetteville have also been invited to be the guest speakers
on the program.
The meeting is open to the public. For more information, please call 770-716-1545
or email chairman@fayettecountygop.org.
