Last night the residents of Bartow had their first opportunity to hear from the candidates seeking election to the Bartow City Commission. The first of two Candidate Forums was live-streamed across YouTube and Facebook from the stage at Main Street Baptist Church in Bartow.

The Candidate Forums are sponsored by the Bartow Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Bartow. Below are videos from last night’s event.

Candidates – Seat 1

James Clements – Incumbent

Tanya Tucker
Charlie Bittinger (unable to attend)

Candidates – Seat 2

Scott Sjoblom – Incumbent
Wesley Harbin

I was grateful for the opportunity to share what I feel are our biggest accomplishments and the priorities we need to focus on as we look ahead. In a future post, I will outline those items here as well. If we haven’t met yet here is a little video introducing myself.

The second candidate forum will take place tonight (3/19) on Central Ave in Downtown Bartow. I am looking forward to visiting with everyone and sharing more about my vision for the city.
