The following was submitted by MMTV:

Melrose Massachusetts Television (MMTV) is excited to present Meet the Press: Melrose on Wednesday September 4, 2019 at 7:30PM in the Aldermanic Chamber at City Hall for a special Mayoral Forum. This will be an opportunity for the public to hear live from the five Mayoral candidates concerning a range of issues before the first ever preliminary election on Tuesday, September 17. The panel consists of substantive questions from known local journalists representing media outlets in the city including: Conor Power-Smith from the Melrose Free Press, Bob Burgess of the Melrose Weekly News, and Mike Carraggi from the Melrose Patch. Mary Beth McAteer-Margolis, Community Outreach Director from MMTV, will moderate the evening by opening and closing the event with details and tracking time for all participants.

All five Mayoral candidates have been invited to participate. The three media outlets will solicit questions from their readers over the next several weeks. Expect questions based on residents' concerns and top stories the outlets have been covering. With limited seating available MMTV will broadcast the forum live on the Government Channel (Comcast 22, Verizon 38) and streaming on MMTV3.org. The program will be re-broadcast and available on demand through our website and partner outlets. We hope you will join the Melrose Press in our effort to present the public with informative coverage of an important event that will shape the city for years to come.
