Plant City Candidate Forum

Join the Plant City Chamber for the 2026 Candidate Forum as we prepare for the upcoming Primary Election.
This community event offers voters the opportunity to meet the candidates, hear directly about their priorities, and become informed before heading to the polls.
The evening will begin with a one-hour Meet & Greet, giving attendees the chance to connect personally with candidates and fellow community members. Following the networking session, candidates will take the stage to address constituents and share their vision for our community. All attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Straw Poll conducted by the Supervisor of Elections office.
Whether you are a business leader, resident, or first-time voter, this is an important opportunity to engage in the democratic process and make informed decisions ahead of Election Day.
We encourage all community members to attend and participate in this important civic event.
