The Democratic and Republican candidates for Kentucky lieutenant governor will participate in a forum in Paducah later this year.
The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce said Jenean Hampton, the running mate of Republican gubernatorial nominee Matt Bevin, and Sannie Overly, who is running with Democratic nominee Jack Conway, have both confirmed they will participate in the event Oct. 1.
Hampton and Overly are to appear before a chamber luncheon. The chamber said the forum will include opening comments from the candidates, a question-and-answer session with local media and concluding remarks by the candidates. WPSD-TV news anchor Todd Faulkner will be the moderator.
WPSD will broadcast the event live and will stream it live on the station's website.
