Neighbor to Neighbor convened a candidate forum in Lynn City on July 22, 2026, to give residents a chance to question contenders for the Democratic nomination in Massachusetts6th District. Organizers opened the session with logistics and a reminder that the primary is Sept. 1, 2026, then gave two-minute opening statements to each candidate.
"My name is John Betcha, and I'm running for congress because our government is broken," John Betcha said in his opening remarks, stressing job creation, tax reform and limits on insider influence. "I'm Grama Nguyen, and I'm just so thankful to be here today," Grama Nguyen told the audience, framing her campaign around immigration, legal-aid experience and a record of bringing federal dollars to the district. The forum included answers on immigration enforcement, housing affordability, health care and youth engagement. Organizers closed by inviting one-on-one conversations with candidates and reminding attendees to register and vote in the Sept. 1 primary.
