From the St. Paul’s United Methodist newsletter:
As a community service, St Paul’s has invited candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor, as well as Brandywine Hundred candidates for House, Senate, and County Council to a Candidate Forum. There will be a Reception beginning at 6:00 p.m. During this time, you will have an opportunity to mingle with the candidates and/or their representatives to ask questions or to provide input. Light refreshments will be served. At 7:00, each candidate will be afforded the opportunity to explain why you should vote for him or her. The moderator will be Dennis Rochford, a political analyst from WHYY “Political Perspectives” segment broadcast on Monday nights. Dennis will give us his perspective on other statewide races and on the battle for control of the House of Representatives. He will also share his perspective on the national race. All members of the community are invited to attend and learn more about the candidates.
Dennis Rochford is a big GOPer. Just sayin’

I’ll be going and I’ll report later. Thanks for the heads up.
Jason has a point about Dennis Rochford’s GOP leanings. I don’t know him ,so maybe he can leave his own politics at the door,but a quick web search found this:

Same reason Gwen Iffel and Tom Brokaw are.
