The Press would like to extend its sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the Meet the Candidate Debate on Saturday. From the engaged audience who took the time to attend, both in person and online, to the candidates who participated and shared their views, the evening was a strong example of meaningful civic involvement.

We are grateful to the sponsors, volunteers, moderator, and all those who worked behind the scenes to ensure the event ran smoothly. Their time, cooperation, and commitment were essential to making the night both informative and respectful.

Events like this are only possible through community collaboration, and we appreciate the shared effort that made this debate a success. Thank you to all who played a role in supporting open dialogue and an informed electorate.
