Dan Bennett, Republican candidate for state representative in the 13th Essex District, will join us for a live chat Thursday, Nov. 1.

The format is a question-and-answer session over the course of an hour and readers can weigh in on either Danvers Patch or Peabody Patch. The district includes all of Danvers, Ward 6 and Ward 5 Precinct 2 in Peabody, and about half of Middleton.

We'll do our best to get to as many questions as we can in that time.

Come to either Danvers Patch or Peabody Patch between noon and 1 p.m. on Nov. 1 to chat with Bennett.

If you know ahead of time that you won't be able to join the chat live on Thursday, you can email your questions to danvers@patch.com or peabody@patch.com and we'll make sure they get asked.

A complete transcript of the chat will be available afterward.

If you missed our chat with incumbent state Rep. Ted Speliotis Wednesday, you can find the transcript here.
