Senate, House Candidates to Visit Danbury

The Danbury Democratic Town Committee is hosting a forum/scramble of U.S. Senate and U.S. House candidates running as Democrats for election in November.

Danbury Democrats will hold a candidate forum on February 25 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Hall, 24 Clapboard Ridge Road. They're calling this a chance for face-to-face time with candidates for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, according to the press release. The event is open to the public although reservations are suggested.  Please call 203-778-3661 to confirm your attendance. A donation is requested at the door.

Seven candidates that have been scheduled to appear include: Dan Roberti, Candidate for Congress, William Tong, Candidate for the U.S. Senate, Elizabeth Esty, Candidate for Congress, Chris Donovan, Candidate for Congress, Randy Yale, Candidate for Congress, Susan Bysiewicz, Candidate for the U.S. Senate and Chris Murphy, Candidate for the U.S. Senate.

 The forum will be conducted like a scramble with each candidate rotating from table to table for fifteen minute intervals to respond to questions from forum participants.  There will be six groups of voters who will listen to the candidates respond to pre-selected questions and pose questions of their own, the press release said.
