> Subject: important debate next Tuesday, July 24 - District Attorney
> Date: July 20, 2018 at 11:14:00 AM EDT
> 
> Two Democrats -- Donna Patalano and Marian Ryan (incumbent) -- want to be our next Middlesex County District Attorney.  Whoever wins will shape how the criminal legal system actually works for the 1.6 million people in Middlesex County.
> 
> Two Democrats -- Nick Carter and Marilyn Petitto Devaney (incumbent) -- want to be our next Governor's Councilor for District 3.  Whoever wins will help choose future judges, Parole Board members, and other positions appointed by the governor.
> 
> I hope you will join me and them at a candidates' debate next Tuesday, July 24, 7-9 p.m. at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Arlington (630 Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington).
> 
> Arlington Community Media Inc. (ACMi) will record the debate and make it available on their YouTube channel and various municipal TV stations.  So you can watch it later if you need to -- but there's nothing like being there in person!
> 
> Please help spread the word by forwarding this email, posting the attached flyer, or talking with people in person.  Most voters know little about these powerful offices, and will vote -- or not -- in the primary on September 4th with little or no knowledge of the candidates.  Anything you can do to help inform future voters will be much appreciated.
> 
> This debate is co-sponsored by the ACLU of Massachusetts, ACMi, the Leagues of Women Voters of Arlington, Lexington, and Winchester, and the Mass Incarceration Working Group of the First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Arlington.
> 
> We very much hope you will join us!
