A candidate forum is being held in the town of Washington this weekend for the Democratic 5th Congressional district seat.  Endorsed candidate Mary Glassman and primary challenger Jahana Hayes will participate in the 90-minute forum Sunday hosted by the Washington Democratic Town Committee. 

The event is from 1:30 to 3pm at Washington Town Hall. 

The women are vying for the seat being vacated by Democratic incumbent Elizabeth Esty, who decided not to seek reelection amid a controversy over her handling of a sexual abuse case involving her former Chief of Staff.

Three Republicans are running in the August 14th GOP primary.
