Pat Moore, Democrat from Monroe running for Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District, and Chauna Banks, Democrat from Baton Rouge running for the 6th Congressional District, have confirmed that they will participate in a Baton Rouge Press Club forum at noon on Nov. 16 at Drusilla Place Catering. Their Republican opponents, Gabe Firment in the 5th district and Blake Miguez in the 6th district, have schedule conflicts and may not appear.
The forum will start at noon and conclude at 1 p.m. The election is Dec. 12, with early voting Nov. 28 through Dec. 5, with the exception of Sunday, Nov. 29.
Drusilla Place Catering is located at the Drusilla Shopping Center at Drusilla Drive and Jefferson Hwy. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. The public is invited, but only members of the Press Club and news reporters are allowed to ask questions during the question-and-answer portion of the program. Lunch is $25 for members and $30 for nonmembers.
