First Debates For Recall Election Announced

STOUGHTON, MA — The candidates in December's recall election and those on both sides of the recall issue will debate next month.

Mark Snyder of Stoughton News announced Tuesday and he will moderate two debates with Jeffrey Pickette of SMAC providing the questions for the Definitive Debate series. The first one, scheduled for Nov. 1, will feature representatives from Citizens Against the Recall and the pro-recall group Stoughton First.

Representing Citizens Against The Recall will be Mark Zamanian and Peter Buckley and representing Stoughton First, will be Michael Horan and Pam Carr.

The second debate on Nov. 15 will be between the candidates. Challenging for David Sousa, Robert Cohn and Peter Brown's seats are Richard Hill, Christine Howe, and Stephen Cavey. Because all three seats are up for reelection in different years, the challengers must choose which seat they will vie for. Hill is challenging Brown, Howe is up against Souza, and Cavey will face Brown, according to the Boston Globe.

Both debates will be available for viewing online and on SMAC.
