The NAACP Huntington Branch hosted a nonpartisan Meet the Candidates Night on October 15, 2026, at the South Huntington Public Library. Residents had the opportunity to hear from candidates, learn about their platforms and positions on local issues, and ask questions ahead of the upcoming election. Huntington Matters was there to capture the evening in photos.
