Charles River Chamber to host three State Representative debates

The Charles River Chamber is hosting three virtual state representative debates ahead of the Sept. 3 Democratic primaries focused on economic development.

The 11th Middlesex, 12th Middlesex, and 13th Norfolk districts, all within the chamber’s footprint, have open races.

• In the 13th Norfolk (covering Needham, Dover, and part of Medfield) Patrick A. Gatto, Kenneth Ruetenik, and Joshua Tarsky will kick-start this series on July 16  at noon. 
• In the 12th Middlesex (including part of Newton and a small part of Brookline) Rick Lipof, Bill Humphrey, and Greg Schwartz will debate on July 18 at 10 a.m. 
• In the 11th Middlesex (covering part of Newton) Amy Sangiolo and Alexander Jablon will debate on July 31 at noon.

The focus for each hour-long event will be issues related to economic development, housing, workforce, and the environment. Other general topics may be discussed as well. 

Questions from the business community in advance are welcome. This event will be recorded and shared later.

All three events are open to members and non-members. Register here for these and all upcoming chamber events.
