Tonight the Hartford Public Library will host a forum that’ll likely be more informative than either of the major presidential debates have been. The meet & greet begins at 5:30, and the forum will start a half hour later.

The candidates who have been confirmed as participating are:

State Senator, 1st District

Senator John W. Fonfara (D)
S. Michael DeRosa (Green Party)
Barbara J. Ruhe (R)

State Representative, 1st District
Representative Kenneth P. Green (D)
Mark A. Friedman (CT for Lieberman Party)

State Senator, 2nd District
Senator Eric D. Coleman (D)
Veronica Airey-Wilson (R)

State Representative, 5th District
Representative Marie Lopez Kirkley-Bey (D)
Larry Charles (Petitioning Candidate)
Craig T. Stallings (Petitioning Candidate)

This will be moderated by Tom Condon.

Parking is available in the lot directly behind the library. You may also get to use the new solar-powered pay stations for on-street parking which are replacing some of the old-fashioned meters downtown.
