Young Professionals Political Pulse

September 28, 2026 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM (CDT)

Description

Your Future. Your Community. Your Questions.

Young professionals are helping shape the future of Bay County—and the decisions made by local elected leaders directly affect where we live, work, build businesses, raise families and plan our futures.

Political Pulse gives Bay County's young professionals the opportunity to hear directly from candidates seeking local office about the issues that matter to their generation.

During this nonpartisan candidate forum, participating candidates will be asked questions focused on the challenges and opportunities facing young professionals throughout Bay County.

This isn't just about politics. It's about the future of Bay County—and having a voice in the decisions that will shape it.

THE ISSUES THAT AFFECT YOUR FUTURE

What will Bay County look like five, ten or twenty years from now?

Political Pulse will put young-professional issues at the center of the conversation, with questions addressing topics such as:

  • Housing affordability and availability
  • Career and economic opportunities
  • Workforce development
  • Infrastructure and transportation
  • Public safety
  • Quality of life
  • Growth and development
  • Entrepreneurship and small business
  • Community involvement and leadership
  • Retaining young talent in Bay County

Participating candidates will have an opportunity to share their perspectives, priorities and ideas for addressing the issues affecting the next generation of Bay County's workforce and community leaders.


HOW POLITICAL PULSE WORKS

Political Pulse will provide participating candidates with an opportunity to respond to questions centered on issues affecting Bay County's young professional community.

The moderated format is designed to give attendees a meaningful comparison of candidates' perspectives while keeping the conversation focused on the future of our community.

Hear their positions. Understand their priorities. Decide what matters to you.


WHY YOUR VOICE MATTERS

The people elected to local office make decisions that can affect your everyday life—from housing and infrastructure to economic development, public safety, taxes, business growth and the overall quality of life in Bay County.

Young professionals shouldn't have to wait until later in their careers to have a voice in those conversations.

Political Pulse creates a seat at the table now.

Come prepared to listen, learn and leave better informed about the candidates asking for your vote.

SHARE YOUR VOICE. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.


A NONPARTISAN COMMUNITY CONVERSATION

Political Pulse is presented in partnership with young professional organizations and community partners from across Bay County to encourage informed civic participation among emerging business and community leaders.

We thank our participating organizations, candidates and sponsors for making this conversation possible.

Political Pulse is a nonpartisan candidate forum. Participation in, sponsorship of or attendance at the event does not constitute an endorsement of any candidate, campaign, political party or political position by the participating organizations or sponsors.
