Candidate Forum

From League of Women Voters of the Columbia Area:

The Columbia Area LWV along with the Congaree Vista Guild are cosponsoring a Candidate Forum for the District 5 seat on the Richland County Council. Two candidates are running for this seat: Chelsea Richard and Allison Terracio.

The forum will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026 from 6 to 7:30 pm at the Rosehill Presbyterian Church Hall at 229 South Saluda Avenue in Columbia. All are welcome to attend.

The Richland County Council District 5 seat is up for election this year. Since two Democrats have filed for this seat, they are on the June 9, 2026 primary ballot and will participate in the Primary Election with no excuse early voting starting on Tuesday, May 26 and ending on Friday, June 5, 2026. The winner of this race will be elected to Council as there is no Republican opposition on the ballot.
