Don't forget, the January 6 Congressional Committee is back with another hearing to inform the public about what happened. Inquiring minds want to know! Here are a couple of useful links.

From Amber Phillips at The Washington Post:

How to watch the next Jan. 6 Committee hearing and what to look for

"The next hearing will be Thursday, Oct. 13, at 1 p.m. Eastern.

The committee plans to show video footage and Secret Service emails that demonstrate how President Donald Trump egged on the unrest that day, even though he was warned there might be violence, report The Post’s Carol D. Leonnig and Jacqueline Alemany.

The committee live-streams its hearings, and most major TV news stations have been airing all of the hearings in full, except for Fox News. (“In the past, Fox News does play our hearings if the hearing is in the daytime,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) told CNN on Sunday.)

The Washington Post will have anchored coverage and analysis before the hearings on YouTube and washingtonpost.com. C-SPAN will air the hearing in full."

From MSNBC:

Here's what to watch for in Thursday's 'final' Jan. 6 hearing

From News4:

"The men vying to become Maryland's next governor will face off tonight in their first and only debate. Republican Dan Cox and Democrat Wes Moore will debate at 7:00pm Wednesday, October 12.

The hourlong debate will air on News4, which teamed up with Baltimore's WBAL-TV and Maryland Public Television."

Please tell your family and friends. Informed voters will want to watch this debate.

In case you missed it, you can watch the 10/6 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum here:

This forum included candidates for Delegate District 29C, State's Attorney, and School Board.

There was also a nonpartisan explanation of the five questions (referenda) on this year's ballot by Ralph Watkins of the Maryland League of Women Voters. If you find ballot questions confusing (as I do), this video is very helpful! That portion starts around 1:46:00.

In case you missed it: here is the video for the 9/29 candidates' forum held by the Calvert County Chamber of Commerce. This event featured candidates for Sheriff and the Board of County Commissioners.

The event was live streamed.
