A virtual forum to meet the candidates in a local race for state senate will be held at the end of August.

The forum for candidates running for the 3rd Bristol & Plymouth District state senate seat will be Thursday, Aug. 29 at 8:30 a.m. via Zoom.

Candidates Jim Dupont (independent), Joseph Pacheco (Democrat), Barry Sanders (Democrat) and Kelly Dooner (Republican) will participate.

Marc Pacheco currently holds the seat but announced earlier this year he would not run for re-election, after serving as state senator for more than three decades.

The forum is presented by the Cranberry Country Chamber of Commerce, Cape Cod Canal Region Chamber of Commerce and Taunton Area Chamber of Commerce.
