Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisor (BOS) and School Board candidates have been invited to participate in candidate forums sponsored by the Fredericksburg Patriots.  All forums will be held at Salem Church Library,

"The forums are not debates," organizer Bryce Thorpe said. "Each candidate has their own block of time and will field questions posed by the Patriots," he said. "To help us make the most of or time, the questions will be prepared in advance. We welcome and would be glad to consider questions from the community. They may be submitted to badlbryce@yahoo.com."

Candidates will be grouped by district so residents can hear all candidates in their district in one evening. The schedule as provided by the Fredericksburg Patriots:

Battlefield District
Wednesday, Oct. 2, at Salem Church Library

Lee Hill District
Monday, Oct. 21, at Salem Church Library
Berkeley District
Wednesday, Oct. 23, at Salem Church Library 
Gil Seaux, School Board candidate for the Berkeley district, has not yet responded to the forum invitation, Thorpe said.

Willie Brown, BOS candidate for Battlefield, and Mark Marshall, School Board candidate for Berkeley, have chosen not to participate due to other campaign priorities, Thorpe said.  

Contact Bryce Thorpe at 540-604-1311 or baldbryce@yahoo.com for more information on the candidate forums.

The Patriots are "a Fredericksburg, Va., area tea party organization promoting the principles of our Nation's founders."  Their Facebook page is at Fredericksburg Virginia Patriots.
