The Easthampton Candidate Forum will be held virtually from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM on Thursday, October 28th. All candidates in the two contested races (Mayor and At-Large City Council) have been invited to participate. The candidates for Mayor are Eric K. Berzins, Nicole LaChapelle (incumbent), Keith Routhier, and Donald Torrey. The five candidates running for the four City Councilor At-Large seats are Koni Denham, David Meunier, Brad Riley, Lindsey Rothschild (incumbent), and Owen Zaret (incumbent).
The virtual Forum will be divided into two sessions. The first, at 6:30 PM, will be the Mayoral candidate forum. The second, at 8 PM, will be the At-Large City Council candidate forum. The audience that attends the Forum via Zoom will be able to ask questions through the chat button. They will be presented at the end of each session.
