Important CTA Update: Tonight’s "Meet the Candidate" Forum Cancelled

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of tonight’s "Meet the Candidate" forum.

This decision was made out of respect for John Sparks, who passed away last night after a courageous battle with cancer. John was a dedicated public servant and a candidate for reelection; his passion for our community will be deeply missed. Our love and thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Key Information:

Rescheduling: Due to the proximity of the election and significant time constraints, this event will not be rescheduled.

Election Day: Please remember that the election will proceed as planned next Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

We appreciate your understanding as we take this time to honor John’s memory and legacy.
