Senatorial Debate

Thursday, October 11 from 6-7:30 at the Camden Opera House

Topic: US Foreign Policy

The Mid-Coast Forum on Foreign Relations is pleased to sponsor a foreign policy debate between the three principal candidates for Maine’s second senatorial seat.  All three candidates accepted our invitation and agreed in July to participate, but just 10 days before the event, Republican candidate,Charlie Summers reneged.  Cynthia Dill and Angus King have respected their July commitment and now agreed to go ahead with a two-person debate.

The debate will be moderated by Forum President, Mac Deford.

Please plan on joining us for the live event.

There will be no charge for admission, but please come early enough to secure your seat.  Doors open at 5PM

The costs of this event will be covered by the Mid-Coast Forum’s Picker Fund, a generous bequest by Harvey Picker and the Branta Foundation.
