As the November midterm elections approach, control of the United States House of Representatives could come down to just a handful of races.
On Monday, October 17, The Public’s Radio, The Providence Journal and the University of Rhode Island will hold a candidate forum for Rhode Island’s second congressional district seat being vacated by Congressman James Langevin. The race, which promises to be hotly contested, was moved from “Leans D” to “Toss Up” by the Cook Political Report in late June.
Former Cranston Mayor Allan Fung, the Republican candidate for Congress, independent candidate William Gilbert, and Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner, the Democratic candidate, have all been invited. The trio will field questions from Ian Donnis, political reporter for The Public’s Radio; Juliana Lepore, news editor for The Good Five Cent Cigar, URI’s student newspaper; and Patrick Anderson, Rhode Island Statehouse reporter for The Providence Journal.
