Easton State Rep Debate Postponed

The 11th Plymouth District State Representative debate scheduled for Tuesday Night on Easton Community Access Television between Democratic candidate Claire Cronin and Republican candidate Dan Murphy will be postponed to a time to be determined.

Citing a serious health emergency in her family, Cronin announced that she would not be attending the event.

"Claire Cronin will be unable to participate in tomorrow’s debate due to a serious health emergency in her family," campaign spokesperson Caroline Cruise said in a statement Monday. "She appreciates your thoughts and prayers at this time."

Cruise said Cronin tentatively plans to attend a forum Monday night held in front of a live audience and hosted by the Brockton Interfaith Community.

The 11th Plymouth District is  made up of Precincts 1-5 in Easton and all of Ward 1, Ward 3-D, Ward 7-C and 7-D in Brockton. Both Murphy and Cronin are residents of Easton.

Tuesday's debate was to be co-sponsored by ECAT, Easton Patch and the Easton Journal.

Patch will provide readers with updates regarding the debate's rescheduling.
