Hi Candidate,<\/div>\n
Thank you for taking our democratic system seriously, and throwing your hat in the ring.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We at the Beacon Hill Community Association always have an all-candidates debate before every election. This time around, since we have Covid-19 to contend with, we’re going to do it slightly differently, while still maintaining as close as possible to our standard format.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To that end, here’s how we see it working, and there are some big benefits for you as it won’t require you to spend a full evening at our debate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are soliciting questions from our community. When the time has run out for submissions, we will choose our 5 top questions. I will arrange a time with you between Sept 10 and Sept 11 to film you giving your 90 seconds of opening remarks, then I will ask you the 5 questions and you will have 60 seconds to answer each one. Expect about 30-40 minutes for the entire thing. No one will have the questions in advance. Once I have all participating candidates’ answers, I will post them to a private YouTube channel for just the candidates to watch. I will return Sept 12 to 13 to film your rebuttal to those questions, 30 seconds maximum, followed by 60 seconds of closing statement.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The entirety of the recordings will be posted, unedited, for transparency, but the video we will promote will be edited like this (to follow our usual ‘in-person’ debate style):<\/div>\n
