MOUNT WACHUSETT COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THE SENTINEL & ENTERPRISE TO HOST CANDIDATES’ DEBATES

(GARDNER)--The week before the Commonwealth's primary election on Tues., Sept. 14, MWCC and the Sentinel & Enterprise will co-host two candidates' debates. On Tues., Sept. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at MWCC's Gardner campus, candidates vying for the Second Worcester District House of Representatives seat, Brian Knuuttila and Doreen Noble, will debate the issues.

“We believe that it is essential that voters have as many opportunities to learn about the candidates before elections day as possible,” said Mount Wachusett Community college President Daniel M. Asquino. “The college is beginning its fourth year in our Decade of Civic Engagement initiative and we are committed to encouraging public debate of the issues that matter to our students and our communities.” Asquino will moderate both debates.

“The Sentinel &Enterprise is dedicated to educating our readers about the important issues of the day,” said Sentinel & Enterprise Publisher Asa Cole. “We welcome this opportunity to inform our readers outside the pages of the newspaper.”

The debate on Thurs., Sept. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Leominster City Hall will feature the Democratic and Republican candidates seeking to fill the Fourth Worcester District House of Representatives seat, Kathleen Reynolds Daigneault, Jennifer Flanagan, Claire Freda, Kathleen Perla, David Nault and John Souza.
