There are many debates and forums taking place in Southern Maryland over the next couple of months in preparation for November’s elections. TheBayNet has compiled a schedule of events so that you can mark your calendar and attend the ones that are important to you. These events are an excellent source of information and an opportunity to witness politicians in person, rather than on paper.


TheBayNet.com will be hosting and subsequently streaming the debate in Charles County on October 10th. We will be providing additional details soon, so if you’re interested in watching please stay tuned for more information.
