In the United States of America, the right to seek public office has long been a cornerstone of our democratic system. While eligibility requirements vary by office and state, any citizen who meets those legal qualifications may place their name on the ballot. For nearly 250 years, this principle has remained a defining feature of our republic.

The Harrison County Chamber of Commerce invites all candidates running for elected positions in Harrison County to participate in this special Meet the Candidates event. This is not a debate, but an open forum designed to encourage respectful conversation, networking, and meaningful connections between candidates and the voters of Harrison County.

This event provides an opportunity for candidates to share their vision, engage with the business community, and strengthen civic involvement in our county.
