Support a Real Public Debate for Hall County Voters

Hall Informed is bringing voters and candidates together for an open, transparent, nonpartisan debate on April 25, 2026 — and your support helps make it possible.

Hall County voters deserve more than campaign flyers, mailers, and scripted talking points. They deserve a real opportunity to see candidates answer questions in public, speak directly to the community, and be accountable for where they stand.

That is exactly what Hall Informed is working to provide.

On April 25, 2026, at 9:30 AM, Hall Informed will host the 2026 Hall County Political Debate at the Gainesville Civic Center, Sidney Lanier Room, 830 Green St NE, Gainesville, GA 30501.

This is designed to be a true public forum centered on fairness, openness, and transparency. Every candidate, regardless of political view, has been invited to participate.

This debate will include candidates from the following races:

• Hall County Commissioner, Districts 1 and 3
• Hall County School Board, Post 2 and At-Large
• Solicitor General of Hall County
• District Attorney of Hall County

***** NO AUDIO or VIDEO ALLOWED. NO CELL PHONE AUDIO/VIDEO ****

Why This Event Matters

Too often, local voters are asked to make important decisions without ever seeing candidates answer direct questions side by side. Hall Informed believes Hall County deserves better.

This event is being built around the kind of civic discussion many people have said they want to see again:

• Every participating candidate will answer questions
• An optional 10-minute public Q&A will follow the debate
• The event is designed for open, honest, direct discussion

This is a chance for voters to come out, ask questions, listen carefully, and experience a good old-fashioned debate — the way it should be.

A Commitment to Transparency

Hall Informed is not only inviting every candidate, but also making the process fully transparent.

Email invitations are being sent to everyone running in each local race. If a candidate does not respond or declines the invitation, the original email invitation and their response, or lack of response, will be displayed at the event beside their empty chair.

That means the public will be able to see exactly who accepted, who declined, and who chose not to answer.

No guesswork. No spin. Just transparency.

Debate Format

The event will follow a structured format intended to be fair and informative for both candidates and voters.

• Each candidate will be asked 10 questions selected by the moderator
• Each response will be limited to two minutes and strictly enforced
• Questions will be rotated evenly among candidates
• An optional 10-minute Q&A session will be held at the conclusion of the debate
• If a candidate chooses not to participate in the Q&A, that decision will be announced

The debate is a nonpartisan event, and all invited candidates are welcome.
