The Galveston College Faculty Senate, Student Government Association and Political Science Club will host a forum featuring candidates for District 23 State Representative on Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. in the Abe and Annie Seibel Foundation Wing on the Galveston College campus, 4015 Avenue Q, Galveston, Texas.

District 23 State Rep. Wayne Faircloth, a Republican, Democratic candidate Amanda Jamrok and Republican candidate Mayes Middleton will participate in the forum.

The forum will be moderated by Don Davison, Galveston College Faculty Senate president and professor of business/accounting.

Citizens are invited to email questions for the candidates, in advance, to Davison at ddavison@gc.edu. Audience members also will have an opportunity to submit questions to the candidates during the forum.

“Throughout its over 50-year history, Galveston College has been host to numerous political forums,” Davison said. “These forums have allowed candidates to express their platforms while at the same time giving the community the opportunity to meet and know the candidates better.  As a community college, we believe forums are an essential part of the democratic process and as such are a key component of our mission to serve the community of Galveston.”

For more information, contact Don Davison at ddavison@gc.edu or the Galveston College Public Affairs office at (409) 944-1302.
