Forsyth County Chamber Announces Candidates Forum Series for Local Voters

The Forsyth County Chamber announced a Candidate Forum Series today from its office at 212 Webb Street in Cumming, inviting voters to meet local candidates from both parties; the chamber’s announcement directs voters to Forsyth News for the full schedule and additional information. The chamber webpage lists a Candidate Forum Series section alongside Sponsors, Related Links, Attendees and Questions but does not show specific dates, times or venue names.

The chamber’s contact block on the site provides direct lines for questions: phone (770) 887-6461, fax (770) 781-8800 and email fccoc@focochamber.org. The online page includes a question form with fields labeled Your Email and Your Question and a Send Question control. The site also displays an Instagram feed reference to Forsyth County Chamber at @forsythchamber and footer text reading © 2023 Forsyth County Chamber. All Rights Reserved.

Reporting tied to the forum series has spotlighted the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners District B contest as a high-stakes race. Democratic contenders named in coverage are Adam Hill, identified as a nonprofit leader and political newcomer, and Marsie West, described as a business strategist who ran unsuccessfully for a seat in 2024. Coverage notes Democratic candidates “faced off Thursday in a forum ahead of the March primary,” and that the primary winner will face Republican Chris Parker in the general election.

At the forum, candidates fielded questions on issues that frequently surface at commission meetings, including budget management, school funding and housing. Marsie West is quoted saying, “This race is the only race that can change the balance of power on the board. So it is very important that we get the best possible candidate in here,” underscoring the stakes for control of the board. Coverage also notes that “While most Forsyth residents vote with Democrats in presidential elections, the party is outnumbered on the commission, four to three.”

Social media reaction tied to recent candidate events included a truncated Instagram post thanking the Forsyth County Democratic Party: “A big thank you to the Forsyth County Democratic Party for hosting an incredible candidate forum! The unique questions really challenged all” which appears on the chamber’s Instagram feed reference but is incomplete in the available excerpt.

The chamber page includes a Premier Corporate Sponsor heading but does not identify sponsor names in the posted content. The announcement reiterates that schedule and full program details are available via Forsyth News; the Forsythnews index excerpt provided with this report contains headlines dated across 2024, 2025 and 2026 but does not include a clearly labeled Candidate Forum Series entry in the supplied listing. For schedule confirmation and sponsor details the chamber’s listed contact points are phone (770) 887-6461 and email fccoc@focochamber.org.
