These images are from the Cambridge, MA city council candidate forum sponsored by the Mid Cambridge Neighborhood Association. Cambridge College provided the venue on Wednesday, September 30, 2015. Not certain if all information is correct. The setting was confusing. Maybe better images next time. Former Mayor, City Councilor and Harvard College graduate Ken Reeves attended, as well as School Committee member Richard Harding. School Committee candidate Elechi M. Kadete was present too.
Candidate Romaine Waite, Lawn St.
Councilor Denise Simmons is at left of this group. Candidate Mike Connolly is hidden by sign (looks like a candle) with tie on. Format of this forum was, after one-minute opening statements (no sound systems), the candidates were seated at one of five (or six) tables with voters joining the candidates they wanted to hear. Not all ceiling lights were on. Unable to capture all present due to limited camera abilities.
Candidate Ilan Levy, right. Xavier Dietrich in white shirt.
Minka vanBuezekon, left green jacket; Marc McGovern extreme right, with hands in front of him as he speaks. Plinio Degoes, in tie facing camera. Margaret “Tuny” McMahon, MCNA member, in grey sweater, to left of McGovern.
Marc McGovern in black jacket left; John Sanzone in grey shirt with hand to his face.
Councilor and State Rep. Tim Toomey, Dean of the Council standing. Candidate Xavier Dietrich taking notes.
Some of the voters who came to see the candidates in person.
Councilor Leland Cheung, who ran for Lt. Governor, left with hands in front of him; Mariko Davidson, right in black dress.
Mid Cambridge Neighborhood Real Estate and Home Owners Association volunteer. If I recall correctly, Frankie Lieberman is a psychiatrist who makes diagnoses at meetings. Appears un-enthusiastic.
Magnificent lecturn, banner, set up with working microphone. It was only used by the moderator, seen here. None of the candidates had mics and did not step up to the mic making it difficult to know who they were and what they said. Not all candidates attended.
Minka vanBeuzekon, shows her enthusiasm for meeting voters.
Unattached women voters came to learn about the candidates.
