It’s important to learn about candidates running for office.
The Outlook is giving you that chance Monday night as we host a local candidate forum for Alexander City’s municipal election. We will go live on our Facebook page at 5:30 p.m. Monday and you’ll be able to watch all the candidates share their case.
