Oconee County GOP to Host Westminster City Council Candidate Debate Forum

The Oconee County Republican Party is holding a candidate debate forum for the three open Westminster City Council seats on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at 6:30 PM at the Westminster City Depot. Six of the eight candidates are confirmed to attend: incumbents Dale Glymph, Ruth May, and Jimmy Powell, along with challengers Charles Morgan, Susan Ramey, and Jamie Jones. Candidates Juni Lynch and Andrea Harbin will not participate. Though the election is nonpartisan, the Oconee County Republican Party seeks to engage voters, asking “tough questions” about issues like the recent power company contract and the city budget. J.R. Slack, Executive Director of the Robert Smalls Republican Coalition of Oconee County, will moderate the forum. Interested community members can submit questions to [email protected] by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, September 24.
