A 5th Congressional District Debate is being held Tuesday night at the Portuguese Cultural Center from 7 to 8:30pm.  Doors will open at 6:30pm.  The candidates for the open seat are Democrat Jahana Hayes and Republican Manny Santos.  This will be their second debate in the district.  After answering questions posed by a panel, the candidates will take questions submitted by the audience.  The League of Women Voters will be screening the questions from the audience to avoid duplication.  The Leagues of Women Voters of Northern Fairfield County and of Litchfield County, the Newstimes and the Newtown Bee are sponsoring the forum.  WLAD will be participating as well.
