The Kennebec County Democratic Committee will hold a “Meet the Candidates Night” at 7 p.m. Thursday at Augusta city hall.

Candidates running for the state Legislature and county commissioner will be present, and all registered Democrats are invited to attend.

“This campaign season has no shortage of coverage or debates at the presidential level,” said Rita Moran, county chairwoman. “But there has been little attention paid to the state races and this will be a forum where voters can get to know who is working to represent them in Augusta.”

Locally, on June 10, six legislative seats will be contested.

They are:

Senate 21: Brian Rines and Sharon Benoit, Democrats, Gardiner district

Senate 23: Diane Messer and Joseph Greenier, Democrats, Unity, Palermo, coastal district

House 76: Henry Beck and Antone Tavares, Democrats, Waterville

House 78: Robert Nutting and Erick Bennett, Republicans, Oakland

House 84: Ed Finch and Paul Tessier, Democrats, Fairfield

House 85: Jeffrey McCabe and Mitchell Snowman, Democrats, Skowhegan
