The Effingham County Chamber of Commerce is proud to host the 2025 Candidate Forums on Thursday, September 25 at the Herald Center in Rincon. Presented in a nonpartisan format, these forums give voters the chance to hear directly from local candidates about the issues shaping our community’s future. Doors open at 4:30PM and the event begins at 5:00PM.
The Chamber’s role is not to endorse candidates, but to provide a fair and balanced platform for open dialogue—ensuring every voter has access to the information they need before casting a ballot.
In keeping with our mission to foster a strong pro-business environment and sustained economic prosperity, all candidates have been invited to complete a questionnaire. These questions focus on priorities such as economic development, small business, education, and infrastructure—topics vital to Effingham’s growth and success.

Please note: Not all candidates may choose to provide background information or complete questionnaires. The results shown reflect those who responded. All candidates were given an equal opportunity to participate.
