Slidell candidates running for Police Chief and City Council seats are pictured with leaders of the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce and the East St. Tammany Business Alliance following the April 27 candidate forum.

With early voting beginning May 2, 2026, our Chamber, in partnership with the East St. Tammany Business Alliance, hosted a candidate forum April 27 at the Slidell Municipal Auditorium.

All candidates participated, including the two candidates for Police Chief, five candidates for the two at-large seats and two candidates for each of the five open district seats.

The forum drew nearly 150 attendees, reflecting strong community interest in the upcoming election. The forum was also recorded to provide Slidell voters with an opportunity to hear from the candidates. View the forum here.
