Clearwater Mayoral Candidate Forum

A Clearwater Mayor Forum was held on February 22, 2024, 6 p.m.. The forum was hosted by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. – Omicron Lambda Chapter Forum, at The Pinellas County African American Museum, 1101 Marshall St, Clearwater. This is Part 1 of the video of the forum. See link below for Part 2.

The two mayor candidates hold differing views on priorities for the city, the Drew St project and other issues.

This particular forum was especially informative.
