Candidates for Attleboro School Committee Ready to Spar

The Attleboro Democratic City Committee is organizing a public debate Thursday, Oct. 20 between candidates for Attleboro School Committee and is inviting the public to attend.

Candidates will face off and debate the critical issues facing the City of Attleboro’s school system beginning at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at auditorium.

Panelists include former State Representatives and community leaders Max Volterra and John Lepper. The moderator is long-time Attleboro resident and radio personality, Peter Gay.

While the Attleboro Democratic City Committee's (ADCC) is organizing the event, organizers say the event is non-partisan. The only role members will play in the debate is to handle the logistics of the event as its contribution to the city's political process, according to organizers. Questions will be the direct responsibility of panelists and the moderator.

All candidates have been invited to be present. "This televised debate is being organized for the citizens of Attleboro in the spirit that issues matter in an election," said Darren Major, ADCC Co Vice-Chairman. "We are excited to have local candidates engaged in this dynamic forum and hope to generate strong interest in this important election."
