• 2020 Local Election

    The Dorchester Chamber of Commerce understands the impact our local elected officials have on the community and our ability to grow.  To help the voting public get to know the candidates better we sent them questions submitted by Chamber Members.  Questions were sent to all 23 candidates running for local office.  17 in the City of Cambridge and 6 for Dorchester County Board of Education.  We also sent questions submitted by the FOP for the City of Cambridge Candidates. 

    There are several links below.  The first are for the questions that were sent to the Candidates.  Those links are followed by links for the responses provided by the candidates for the questions grouped by position for which they are running.   Please take time to review the responses as you make your decision to vote.
