FORT WALTON BEACH — A coalition of Northwest Florida churches has set three forums for Okaloosa County candidates.
The forums begin with 30-minute candidate meet-and-greets.
The first forum — for school board districts 2 and 4, and superintendent of schools — is 7-9 p.m. July 28 at Ocean City Church, 428 Racetrack Road NE, Fort Walton Beach.
The second — for Okaloosa sheriff and District 1 commissioners — is 7-9 p.m. Aug. 11 at Victorious Life Worship Center, 5973 Victorious Life Place, Crestview.
The third — for District 4 state Representative and District 1 state Senate seats — is 7-9 p.m. Aug. 25 at Gateway City Church, 216 Eglin Parkway NE, Fort Walton Beach.
In a media release, the coalition stated the purpose of the forums is completely educational, and it does not endorse candidates or political parties.
"Our desire is to promote good citizenship, primarily within the Christian community in Okaloosa County. All of the citizens of Okaloosa County are welcome to attend our candidate forums," the coalition stated.
