6th Congressional District Candidate Debate and Forum

The Frederick E. Berry Institute of Politics (Berry IOP) is hosting a Congressional Candidate Forum and Debate for the Sixth Congressional District. 

Established in 2019, the Berry IOP is the only Institute of Politics at a public state university in Massachusetts. The Berry IOP's mission is to engage and inspire students to be active in our democracy and pursue careers in politics and public service. We are dedicated to strengthening civic and political engagement by creating opportunities for thoughtful dialogue on issues that shape our society. As part of this mission, we host public programs that bring candidates and community members together for informed and constructive dialogue.

This program will include both a moderated forum and a structured debate format, allowing candidates to share their perspectives and engage with one another on issues important to the district. Please join us for this important event.
