The Windsong Plantation at Eagle’s Landing community is hosting a candidates’ forum this Sunday at 4 p.m. at the subdivision’s clubhouse. The four candidates in the Stockbridge mayor’s race have been invited to attend. They are political newcomer and millennial Partha Chakraborty, former Henry County TV personality Judy Neal and former Stockbridge city councilmembers Alphonso Thomas and Regina Lewis Ward. Community activist Allie Osuch will moderate. Stockbridge has been without a mayor since Dec. 15 when then-mayor Tim Thompson promptly resigned at a council meeting. Windsong Plantation is located off Eagles Landing Parkway in Stockbridge. Arrive early. Seating is limited.
