Candidates' forum is Sept. 5 in East Providence

Barrington residents are vying for District 66 seat

Posted

Two Barrington residents who are running for the District 66 seat in the Rhode Island House of Representatives will meet in a candidates' forum.

The event will be held at Martin Middle School in East Providence on Wednesday, Sept. 5, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Democrats Liana Cassar and John Chung will square off in the primary election, which is set for Sept. 12. The winner will also face competition in the general election, as Republican Rhonda Holmes is also running for the House seat. District 66 includes sections of Barrington and East Providence.

Democrat Joy Hearn has held the seat for the last 10 years, but announced earlier that she was not running for re-election. 

The League of Women Voters of Rhode Island is sponsoring the candidates' forum, along with Full Channel, East Bay Chamber of Commerce and East Bay Newspapers.

Martin Middle School is located at 111 Brown St., in East Providence.
