Jackson County Prosecutor Debate POSTPONED

UPDATE -- POSTPONED -- Here's the word from Democratic Party candidate Melesa Johnson: 

"I am deeply saddened to announce that this evening’s Jackson County Prosecutor Candidate forum has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. I was genuinely looking forward to sharing my platform and engaging in a meaningful conversation about the future of our community.

"Fortunately, the debate will be rescheduled, and I look forward to having the opportunity to share my vision for Jackson County with you very soon."
