A forum was held Thursday night for the candidates vying for the vacant Atlanta City Council District 3 Seat.

The eight candidates gathered for the forum at the Simpson Street Church of Christ in northwest Atlanta. FOX 5’s Aungelique Proctor moderated the event.

The candidates spoke on a number of subjects including crime concerns, affordability, and bettering education.

The District 3 Seat opened up last November following the death of Councilman Ivory Young Junior.

The special election will be held on March 19.
