All five Flower Mound mayoral candidates will participate in a forum on Thursday, April 8, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Flower Mound Town Hall, 2121 Cross Timbers Road. Lewisville ISD candidates are also invited and will address the public at the beginning of the forum.

The public is invited to attend in-person.
Double Oak Town Council candidates will discuss issues at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 14, at Town Hall, 320 Waketon Rd. The town will broadcast the forum on the Town of Double Oak’s Facebook page and post the recording on the town website.

This year, three candidates are vying for two at-large Double Oak council seats.
The public is invited to submit questions for the candidates of each forum in advance here. Questions should be worded in a general way so all candidates can respond to them.
Longtime Flower Mound resident and newspaper columnist Bob Weir will moderate the candidate forums.
