Join us at the Debate on Wednesday Night

I hope you will join us in Harwich on Wednesday night as the five Democratic candidates for Barnstable County Commissioner engage in their first debate. The event kicks-off at 7:00 p.m. at the Harwich Community Center, 100 Oak Street.

Only two of the five Democratic candidates will be nominated in the primary scheduled for September 16th  to face Republicans Brad Crowell of Dennis and Ric Baros in the November 4th final election.

Look for incumbent; Lance Lambros of Sandwich, Tom Bernardo of Yarmouth, Mary Pat Flynn of Falmouth, Sheila Lyons of Wellfleet and Greg Milne of Barnstable to address a number of issues of concern to the voters of Cape Cod; Regionalization, the Cape Cod Commission, Human Services and funding for the Sheriff's office.  

This is the "HOT" race to watch this election cycle since there is no primary for state constitutional offices this fall and the other local contested races in September are for the Republican nomination for Register of Probate and the House of Representative's Primary for Eric Turkington's seat.

Yes, folks this is a debate sponsored by the Harwich Democratic Town Committee, but all are welcome and I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of Republican elected officials and activists in the audience, not to mention a healthy dose of Independents who are the clear majority of voters.

There is a statewide primary in the Fall. Jim Ogonowski and Jeff Beatty have a Primary to see who goes up against John Kerry for the Senate seat.

Thanks for reminding me about the primary between Jeff and Jim, I stand corrected. There may also be a primary for Senator Kerry if Ed O'Reilly gets 15% at the Democratic State Convention in June.
