Bernie or Hillary?

The East Hampton Town Democratic Committee and the East End New Leaders will host an open forum on Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary and the Nov. 8 presidential election tomorrow at 6 p.m. at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Amagansett.

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, senator from New York, and first lady, and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a Brooklyn native, are vying for the party’s nomination. There are 291 Democratic delegates at stake in New York, with 247 of those awarded based on votes cast by registered party members.

In the first part of the forum, each of three panelists — Tim Bishop, who represented New York’s First Congressional District for 12 years, Walker Bragman, a co-founder of the East End New Leaders, and Bill Chaleff, a longtime East End Democrat — will reveal the candidate they support and explain why. Those in attendance will then be invited to state their own positions.

The second part of the forum will begin with statements and explanations by the panelists on how they intend to proceed in the national election if their primary choice is not nominated. Participants will then be able to address that question. Charles Hitchcock, a former East Hampton Town Democratic Committee chairman, will preside and serve as timekeeper.

The committee has encouraged students and younger voters to attend.
