The Gabber Newspaper and the Gulfport Merchants Chamber of Commerce will jointly host the Gulfport Candidate Debates in the Catherine A. Hickman Theater. Social distancing and mask protocols enforced; families and people in the same "quarantine bubble" may sit together in the theater, but two seats will separate people not in the same bubble. Doors will open at 5 p.m. for ticket holders; at 5:30 p.m. we will release all remaining seats to walk-up traffic.

The Gabber and the GMC will also stream the events as a Zoom webinar so those who cannot attend will be able to see the debates and submit questions. We will take questions prior to the event at elections@thegabber.com and from 5-5:45 p.m. the night of the event.

Brittany Sherley, vice-president of the Gulfport Merchants Chamber of Commerce, and Cathy Salustri Loper, publisher of the Gabber Newspaper, will co-moderate the debate.

If you wish to attend via Zoom, please email elections@thegabber.com and ask us to add you to the list; we will email you a link shortly before the event.
