Candidates for Congress, state legislature and DeKalb County school board will try to garner votes Saturday at a candidates’ forum.

The Ashford Alliance Community Association forum is scheduled for 11 a.m. at St. Martin in the Field Episcopal Church on Ashford Dunwoody Road. Candidates will have 10 minutes to speak and answer questions.

The association said it invited all 65 candidates that are on North DeKalb precincts’ ballots and more then half have confirmed attendance. Attendees include U.S. Senate candidates Michael Thurmond and Chuck Donovan, along with U.S. House of Representatives candidates Liz Carter and Tom Price. Libertarian John Monds is the only confirmed governor candidate, said Jeff Turnage, the association’s event coordinator.

DeKalb school board District 1 candidates Jim Redovian and Nancy Jester will be there, but District 1 candidate Bobbe Gillis declined participation, Turnage said.
