The Clayton Chamber of Commerce’s Legislative & Governmental Affairs Committee will host Platforms at the Podium, presented by Lumos Fiber, on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 6:00–8:00 PM at the Clayton Center Council Chambers.

This nonpartisan, educational forum provides voters with the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates running for Clayton Town Council: Andrea Archer (Incumbent), Dan Barbour, Keith Branch, Jason Carter, Porter Casey (Incumbent), and Amanda Underwood.

The forum will be moderated by Judge Addie H. Rawls, former District Court Judge for the 11th Judicial District. Each candidate will respond to prepared questions, have equal time to answer, and provide a closing statement. Following the forum, candidates will be available for networking with attendees until 8:00 PM.

The Clayton Chamber of Commerce does not endorse or support any candidate. This event is offered as a public service to provide information and resources to help voters make informed decisions.

The event is free, open to the public, and livestreamed on the Clayton Chamber of Commerce’s YouTube channel.

Platforms at the Podium is part of the Chamber’s mission to engage the community and support voters by providing access to civic information and resources
