Main St., [five days before the Aug. 4 primary](https://www.mcphersoncountyks.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/1071?ref=citizenjournal.us). The event, hosted by the McPherson Area Chamber of Commerce, will feature District 1 Commissioner Keith Becker and challenger Stephen Gray, both Republicans vying in a primary contest, alongside District 2 Commissioner Tom Keuser, a Republican who drew no primary opponent but was invited along with everyone else on the ballot. Candidates will answer written questions submitted by attendees upon arrival. Bypassing a traditional debate format, the forum will open with three-minute statements from each candidate, followed by one-minute responses to audience questions screened for duplication and appropriateness. *This article was written using our proprietary AI system, Cronkite.
