🗣️ What would you ask the candidates?

The Cape Ann Political Action Committee (CAPAC) is in the initial stages of preparing for an upcoming State Representative Candidate Forum featuring candidates running to represent the Fifth Essex District — Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and Essex.

We want to hear from you!

Submit your questions for the candidates by emailing:

CAPAC will review the questions submitted by the public and select questions for the forum. Questions will be provided to all candidates in advance, giving each candidate an equal opportunity to prepare and respond.

⏰ Deadline: Friday, October 2 by 5 pm

What issues matter most to you, your family, your community, or the future of the Fifth Essex District?

Send us your questions and help shape the conversation.

A fantastic candidate forum was held with four out of the five candidates delivering thoughtful answers to some tough questions. Howard Frisch did an outstanding job moderating and keeping the conversation engaging.

A special shoutout to Gloucester High School students Henry Harrison, Seamus Linehan, Amos Telep, and Jude Worthley — they were the highlight of the evening! Their questions were sharp, well-delivered, and perfectly timed.

🎥 Watch the full forum on 1623’s YouTube channel.

Out of an abundance of caution due to the storm, we are postponing the State Representative Candidate Forum scheduled for Saturday, February 7. We are currently in the process of notifying all participants and candidates.

We understand this is disappointing. Many community members have shared how important it is to hear directly from the candidates before making their decision in the March 3rd primary.

In the coming days, we will be working closely with all candidates, 1623, and Gloucester High School faculty and students to reschedule the forum. Additional details will be shared as soon as they are available.
