State representative debate tonight
Jan 29th, 2008 by Dave Olson
Just a reminder that The Salem News is sponsoring a debate/forum for the race to replace Doug Petersen as the representative of the 8th Essex District, which includes Marblehead and Swampscott.
Here’s the notice from today’s paper:
Tonight at 7:30, The Salem News will sponsor a forum for the candidates in the special election being held for the 8th Essex House seat formerly held by Doug Petersen of Marblehead. The event will take place in the library at Marblehead High School and is open to the public.
Five candidates | two Democrats, two Republicans and an independent | are running. Four plan to attend tonight to answer questions posed by the moderator. Salem News readers can participate by submitting questions in advance on issues of concern to them.
