DeKALB – Residents will have a chance to hear local candidates speak on different issues today, about a month before the election.

The DeKalb Chamber of Commerce will host Candidates Night at the Egyptian Theatre starting at 5:30 p.m. The event will feature an hourlong meet-and-greet where residents can talk to candidates about issues and concerns before those in contested races take the stage.

Starting at 6:30 p.m., candidates in contested races each will give a three-minute introductory statement and then a two-minute closing statement.
