The Baton Rouge Area Chamber announced Monday that it will host an East Baton Rouge Parish mayoral candidate forum next month.
WBRZ-TV will moderate and broadcast the event live on Sept. 11. BRAC will create a poll to gauge voter support for the candidates leading up to the forum and the poll results will determine which candidates are invited to participate.
Nine candidates qualified for the race, but only eight remain after Gregory Taylor withdrew in late July.

Event registration is $50. Visit brac.org/events for registration and additional information.
