Chamber to Host Bloomsburg Mayoral Forum
The Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that it will host a candidate forum for the 2025 Bloomsburg Mayoral race. The event will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. on the first floor of the Mulberry Mill Complex, on 6th Street in Bloomsburg. Registration is free and open to the public, but please note that pre-registration is required due to limited seating capacity (75). In addition to the in-person event, the Chamber will broadcast the forum via its YouTube channel. Candidates Justin Hummel and Mark Gardner have accepted the Chamber’s invitation for an in-person event.
The format of the event will be a modified debate. Identical questions will be presented to each participating candidate, and they will have a fixed amount of time to respond. No candidate will receive a copy of the questions in advance, and, time-permitting, a limited number of questions will be accepted from the audience in written form. Questions of a personal nature will not be presented. Chamber President Chris Berleth will serve as the event’s moderator.
The Chamber is a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization and does not endorse candidates for public office. Candidates and guests are expected to adhere to the Chamber’s Code of Conduct during the event.
