The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce will host both candidates for Lt. Governor in a candidate forum in Paducah on October 1. WPSD will broadcast the forum live during their noon newscast for approximately 40 minutes and stream live on their website. Both candidates, Republican nominee Jenean Hampton and Democratic nominee State Rep. Sannie Overly, have confirmed their participation. 

The Paducah Chamber will shift their traditional monthly Power in Partnership Breakfast in October to a luncheon for this event. The luncheon will be held at the Julian Carroll Convention Center and is sponsored by Paducah Bank. 

The luncheon buffet will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the Chamber program to begin at approximately noon. The candidate forum will include opening comments from each candidate, a question and answer session with a local media panel, and concluding remarks by each candidate. WPSD Local 6 News Anchor Todd Faulkner will serve as moderator.   

“We are thrilled to be able to host this event so voters in Western Kentucky will have the opportunity to meet these two candidates,” said Paducah Chamber President Sandra Wilson. “Our local citizens are eager to hear their thoughts on issues important to our community and the state.”
