The Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester Democratic Town Committees (DTCs) will host a Candidates’ Night for the Democratic Primary candidates running for State Representative, 10th Bristol District in the Great and General Court (Massachusetts House of Representatives), Plymouth County Commissioner and Plymouth County District Attorney. The event will be held Tuesday, August 2, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, at the Community Room of St Gabriel’s Parish Hall, 124 Front Street, Marion.
Other members of our elected community including local State Senators and Representatives not being challenged have also been invited to attend to meet and talk with their constituents.
This event will be moderated by Mike Cambra. Questions to the candidates will be presented by the audience on 3 x 5 index cards and collected by the DTC’s volunteers to be posed by the Moderator or DTC Chairs to each of the candidates in turn. The Moderator and the TDC Chairs will make a good faith effort to vary the topics of questioning so as to elicit positions of each candidate on issues likely to affect the 10th Bristol District.
Candidates who have accepted the DTC’s invitation are:
-Rep. Bill Straus, Incumbent, Representative 10th Bristol District
-Rick Trapilo, Candidate for Representative 10th Bristol District
-Rahsaan Hall, Candidate for Plymouth County District Attorney
-Carlos Da Silva, Candidate for Plymouth County Commissioner

This event will be covered by ORCTV and will be available for viewing at a later time before the primary date of September 6. The Committees are working with ORCTV to determine if the event could be live-streamed. Update to follow.
