Healey Campaign Commits to Inclusive and Accessible Primary Debate Plan, Including Two Pre-Primary Debates
Healey has also committed to two live media forums prior to June Convention
BOSTON – Maura Healey’s campaign
for Governor is committing to two live, media-sponsored debates before the
September primary. The campaign has also already committed to two live
media-affiliated forums before the Democratic State Convention in June.
“Media-sponsored forums and debates are important opportunities
for voters to hear directly from the candidates,” said Healey Campaign
Manager Jason Burrell. “Since launching her campaign two months ago, Maura
has enjoyed participating in several forums and has participated in more than
70 caucuses where she has engaged with voters and answered their questions. She
looks forward to continued opportunities to share our vision for Massachusetts
and urges that these events are inclusive and accessible for all residents.”
In a letter sent today, the campaign confirmed that Healey will be
participating in the first media-affiliated forum on Tuesday, April 19, more
than a month before the convention. The forum is hosted by the Boston Ward 4
and Ward 5 Democrats at 6:30 pm and moderated by GBH’s Callie Crossley. The
second forum is sponsored by WBUR and the Environmental League of Massachusetts
on Wednesday, April 27 at 6 pm.
The Healey campaign is committing to two media-sponsored, live
televised debates between the Convention and the primary. The campaign stressed
that these debates should be accessible for Spanish language-only speakers and
hearing- and visually-impaired constituents, and available in every region of
the state.
Over the past two months, Healey has participated in several live
forums, including with Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, the SEIU State
Council, and the Black and Latinx Municipal Caucus.
