Gilbert Town Council Candidate Forum

Join the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce and Independent Newsmedia / Gilbert Independent / Yourvalley.net for an informative and engaging Town Council Candidate Forum designed to connect the business community and residents with individuals seeking to serve on the Gilbert Town Council.

This forum provides an opportunity to hear directly from candidates as they share their perspectives on key issues impacting Gilbert’s future, including economic development, infrastructure, workforce, and quality of life. Attendees will gain valuable insight into each candidate’s priorities, leadership approach, and vision for the community.

The event will follow a structured format, with each candidate responding to a consistent set of questions to ensure a fair and balanced discussion. Time will also be allocated for brief opening and closing remarks.

Whether you are a business leader, community stakeholder, or engaged resident, this forum is an important opportunity to become informed ahead of the upcoming election.
