District 3 Cobb Commission, legislative races featured in Thursday candidates forum

District 3 Cobb Commission

On Thursday the League of Women Voters of Marietta/Cobb will be holding a candidates forum in downtown Marietta that will include candidates for the District 3 Cobb Commission and legislative races.

The forum lasts from 7-9 p.m. and will be held in the 2nd floor board room of the Cobb government building, 100 Cherokee St. (where county commissioners hold their meetings).

The candidates who have been invited include those vying for the Georgia State Senate District 32 seat that covers most of East Cobb: Republican incumbent Kay Kirkpatrick and Democrat Christine Triebsch.

That’s a rematch of last year’s special election won by Kirkpatrick. They will be included in a discussion with other Cobb state senate candidates from 7-8 p.m.

From 8-9, the focus is on the District 3 Cobb Commission race, which pits Republican incumbent JoAnn Birrell against Democrat Caroline Holko.

The forum is free and also will be shown live on TV23, Cobb government’s local access cable channel.
