OAK GROVE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – The Oak Grove Community Center is hosting City Council debates on Oct. 28 at 5 p.m. featuring current candidates. The public is invited to attend. This event follows a successful meet and greet on Oct. 24, where over 25 residents came out to engage and hear from local candidates.
This year, Oak Grove residents can expect nine city council candidates on the ballot including incumbents Janet Edwards, John Campbell, Jean Leavell, Isaiah Spencer, Richard Baker, and Edward Cook who are all seeking reelection.
The challengers are Carlo Gentlemen, Chance Sumners and Timothy Lawrence Rosser. Since, Oak Grove does not have wards, the six council members with the most votes will comprise the new council.
Early voting begins Thursday, Oct. 31 until Nov. 2 in Christian County at The Bruce Convention Center, Senior Citizens Center, and the Boys and Girls Club in Hopkinsville.
