Unfortunately, the Boston Globe prescheduled debate for the Senator in Congress to replace John Kerry is the same evening so we will not be able to hear from these candidates.
If you have never been, its your chance to see and hear the candidates introduce their platforms briefly and answer questions live. As a member of DotOUT prior to today, you will also have voting rights in our endorsement process.

In order to earn an endorsement from DotOUT, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes from those present and voting.
The candidates have completed a questionnaire addressing subjects such as education, crime, GLBTQ equality, diversity, budgets and spending.
