May 12-18 congressional race calendar
Over the last couple of months, I've been using this blog to track candidates' public appearances in the 1st Congressional District race. There are eight candidates in the race, and with primary election scheduled for June 10, the weekly calendar is becoming hard to manage.
So for the last four weeks of the campaign, I'm going to use this blog only to track forums and debates where more than one of the candidates is scheduled to appear. Most of the campaigns have additional information about their own candidates' appearance on their Web sites.
That said, here's what on tap this week:
