Chamber partners with Fredericksburg Area Association of Realtors and the Fredericksburg Area Builders Association to host Regional Candidates Forums
The Fredericksburg Area Association of Realtors and the Fredericksburg Area Builders Association partnered with the Chamber to host four Board of Supervisors Candidate Forums in August 2007. The forums took place in Caroline, King George, Stafford, and Spotsylvania Counties, which are the Planning District 16 localities with elections this Fall.
Mark Clifford and Ted Schubel of NewsTalk 1230 moderated the discussions. Chamber President Bob Hagan, FABA's Craig Johnson and FAAR's Suzy Stone and Sha Hinnant asked questions of the candidates.
The contenders voted "yes" or "no" on the issues posed in each question and, for some queries, had the opportunity to explain their stances. All candidates were given the opportunity to provide written responses to all of the questions. Six candidates responded:
Lance Bacon and Joe Grzeika, King George County
Tom Coen, Stafford County
Hap Connors, Carl Ingebretsen and Gary Skinner, Spotsylvania County
