2024 Local Candidate Questions

The Dorchester Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee created a series of questions for each of the local positions up for election in 2024.  The questions are based on topics the committee believes are of concern to our members.  It is by no means meant to be a comprehensive list of all voter concerns but will provide insight on candidate positions on key issues that would have an impact on the business community.  The questions were provided to all candidates, even those running unopposed, to give all an equal chance to present their positions. 

There are three sets of questions and each set can be viewed by clicking on the following descriptions:

1. City of Cambridge Mayor
2. City of Cambridge Commissioner
3. Dorchester County Board of Education

The following links will take you to candidate responses that can be reviewed and downloaded.  The responses are grouped by position and there is one file for each.  Questions are listed in order with all responses for each question grouped together with candidate responses listed in order by candidate last name.
