Candidates for the Montgomery ISD board of trustees debated the issues facing the city at a candidate forum April 18 co-hosted by the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce and the Voter Awareness Council.

There are two contested races up for election on the May 4 ballot. Matt Fuller, Larry Hereford and Kent Pope are running for the Place 6 position, while Gary Hammons and Russel Messecar vie for the Place 7 position.

Julie Cannon, the general manager of the Conroe/Montgomery edition of Community Impact Newspaper, moderated the forum.
