Medford Mayoral Candidates to Debate Thursday

Medford Mayoral Candidates Stephanie Muccini Burke and Bob Penta will meet for a debate on Thursday evening. Both candidates are vying to replace current mayor Michael McGlynn.

As the race for mayor continues, the Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present the first Mayoral Debate at the Chevalier Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 15, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The debate will give local residents the opportunity to hear firsthand from the two candidates, Burke and Penta, on a variety of topics based on questions submitted by local residents.

The debate will be moderated by Fox25 News Investigative Reporter and Medford resident, Kerry Kavanaugh.

The Medford Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to organize this debate and provide a forum for Medford residents to hear from the candidates about their vision for our City.

All Mayoral Debate questions will be based on those submitted by local residents and the public. The questions will be reviewed and categorized by a panel of five Medford residents: John Anderson, Rita Cornelio, Allie Fiske, Dan Kennedy, and Penny Outlaw.

The Mayoral Debate is free and open to the public, with doors opening at 6:00 pm. The event will begin at 7 p.m. sharp and run until 10 p.m.
