The forum was held at the Bangs Community Center on Wednesday, July 18th. The primary election will be on September 4th and the winner of this race will face independent incumbent Solomon-Goldstein Rose in November's general election.
The forum was sponsored by the Daily Hampshire Gazette, Amherst Media, WHMP, and the Amherst League of Women Voters.
Judy Brooks, a long-time member of the Amherst community and a committed activist for human rights, social justice, and intrinsic dignity, died last week at the age of 74.

Among many other contributions to the community, Judy served on the town's Select Board, the Housing Authority, and as an active member of the League of Women Voters.

The Amherst Media community is shocked and saddened to learn of Bruce Smith's passing. He was a prominent character on channel 12 and a familiar presence around the station.
Bruce was a lifelong resident of Amherst. He produced over 100 episodes of "The Bruce Show" and filmed community and high school basketball games. Many members of the public simply knew of him as "the man on the couch." He was an iconic figure in our programming.
Check out The Greys in the latest Live At The Grid. They navigate somewhere between jazz, blues and beat but with a flavor all of their own. They explore psychological pain through the redemptive power of music. Only on Amherst Media.
