League to Host Forums for La Vergne Aldermen, Mayor Candidates


  • La Vergne City Hall 5093 Murfreesboro Road La Vergne, TN, 37086 United States (map)

Candidates for La Vergne Aldermen and La Vergne Mayor will have an opportunity to introduce themselves and respond to a moderator's questions on a timed basis at forums on two consecutive evenings, October 18 and October 19. The start time is 6:00 PM both days.

The forums will be hosted by the League of Women Voters of Murfreesboro/Rutherford County in conjunction with the City of La Vergne.

The public is invited to attend in person, watch live on public access TV, or stream live or later.

Not sure of your district? Enter your address at the League’s online tool, VOTE411.org, to find out and generate a personalized ballot. You can also confirm your district at GoVoteTN.gov.

The public should be seated 10 minutes prior to each start time. There will be no admittance once each forum is underway.

To assure an impartial and welcoming environment for all candidates, no campaign materials (t-shirts, buttons, signs, etc.) are allowed.

A question pool is developed by a League committee with citizen input. You may submit suggested questions to the League by using this form. The moderator is not publicly aligned with any candidate and makes the final determination of questions.

All questions cannot be used due to time restrictions, but your input is helpful to the moderator in identifying topics of high interest and selecting the final questions from our question bank.

League policy is to offer forums for all contested, general elections in which a majority of candidates agree to participate.

Viewing the forums

The forums can be viewed live on Comcast (channel 3), AT&T (channel 99), and TDS TV (channel 3) in La Vergne. The city will also stream the forums live on YouTube at youtube.com/LaVergne37086

Election Day is November 8, with early voting October 19-November 3. Learn more about the election.

About the venue

The forums will be held at La Vergne City Hal, 5093 Murfreesboro Road. Parking is free.
