Back on October 18, 2009, Merrimack Valley Democratic groups sponsored a Forum for the four candidates for the Democratic nomination for the U. S. Senate at the Rogers Center at Merrimack College. The Forum was organized by the North Andover Democratic Town Committee in partnership with radio station WCAP 980AM and over 40 Democratic city and town committees from across the Merrimack Valley.  Two regional Democratic organizations  - Greater Lowell Area Democrats (GLAD) and 1st Essex-Middlesex Coalition  co-sponsored the event.

The forum DVD is currently available and being shown on various cable access stations in communities around the Commonwealth. The Democratic State Committee has also posted the Merrimack College Forum video on their Web site so interested persons can stream the video to their PC. The forum and other candidate debates are helpful in gaining a perspective on the race in general and on specific candidates.
