With two weeks remaining until voters choose Statesboro's next mayor, all four candidates shared a stage Tuesday night to spread their messages to an attending and viewing audience. Incumbent Mayor Joe Brannen and challengers Jonathan McCollar, Jan Moore and Bill Thomas gathered to discuss issues and meet with citizens during a mayoral forum hosted by downtown Statesboro's Averitt Center for the Arts. The forum was the second of two held this month — sponsored by the Statesboro Herald and Hodges-Moore Funeral Home — and was televised live by Northland Cable.
