2024 Fruita City Council candidate forum

FRUITA, Colo. (KREX) — The Fruita Area Chamber of Commerce (FACC) is holding a City Council candidate forum on Feb. 28.

The forum, which will go from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., will be in the Fruita Monument High School auditorium at 1102 Wildcat Avenue. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and community members are invited to an informal meet and greet with the candidates.

Candidates at the forum will be mayoral candidate Matthew Breman and the city council candidates — Aaron Hancey, Frank Graziano, Richard Parrish and Adrea Stolarczyk. The forum will be moderated by Dr. Justin Gollob from Colorado Mesa University.

The forum will be an Equal Time Q&A forum. Candidates will each provide a two-minute opening statement. A moderator will then question the candidates, who will each have the same 90 seconds to answer. Once all questions have been asked, each candidate will provide a one-minute closing statement.

The FACC asks attendees to submit their questions before the forum begins to make it more efficient; you can do so on the Chamber’s website.
