MassVOTE hosts forum for candidates vying to succeed retiring Rep. Gloria Fox

Tonight at 6 p.m., MassVOTE will host a forum for candidates vying for the 7th Suffolk District House seat currently held by Rep. Gloria Fox, who is retiring after a generation serving the Roxbury community on Beacon Hill.

The forum comes just over a week before voting begins in the Thursday, September 8 state primary election. The three participating candidates are all Democrats, meaning whoever wins the primary will appear on the November 8 ballot unopposed.

WHAT: 7th Suffolk District House candidate forum

WHERE: Twelfth Baptist Church, 160 Warren Street, Roxbury
