There are four strong candidates running for this office and it is worth the time to learn more about what they stand for and what they want to do if elected Governor.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of sending questionnaires to the candidates for Governor, MALC invited four of the five candidates** to guest blog. We also urged each candidate to release their policy for our sector (and post it on their website) before the November 4th General Election. MALC feels strongly that any candidate seeking to be Governor needs to have a specific and comprehensive policy platform for our sector.<\/p>\n<p>MALC Steering Committee Members Kathleen Bitetti and John Weeks are analyzing the full campaign platforms of each of the four candidates. They are looking at how they impact individual artists of all disciplines and our sector as a whole. They will only look at what is found on the candidate\u2019s website. MALC will also run each candidate&#8217;s guest blog (if they submitted one) the same day as the analysis of their campaign platform.<\/p>\n<p>The candidates will be featured in reverse alphabetical order:<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday, October 28th Candidate <strong>Jim McCormick<\/strong><br \/>\nWednesday, Oct. 29th Candidate <strong>Evan Falchuk<\/strong><br \/>\nThursday, October 30th Candidate <strong>Martha Coakley<\/strong><br \/>\nFriday, October 31st Candidate <strong>Charlie Baker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can not stress enough how important it is to vote (and to actually be an informed voter). MALC has also posted pieces breaking down the federal and state district races, the races for Attorney General, Treasurer, and Lt. Governor, and the Four Ballot Questions. We urge you to take the time to read these past blog posts and share them with others.
