Description
Housing & Building Industry Candidates Forum
Join HBRACC and the Cape Cod & Islands Association of REALTORS® for a moderated, nonpartisan forum focused on the issues impacting housing, development, and the building industry on Cape Cod.
The forum will feature candidates for Barnstable County Commissioner, providing attendees with an opportunity to hear directly from those seeking to represent our region.
Andrew Mikula, Chairman of the Legalize Starter Homes Ballot Campaign, will also join us to discuss the statewide initiative and its potential impact on housing in Massachusetts.
This is an opportunity to hear directly from candidates and housing leaders, learn more about where they stand on issues important to the housing and building community, and connect with fellow industry professionals.
Meet the Moderator
The forum will be moderated by Matt Pitta, Director of Communication for The Davenport Companies.
A Cape Cod media professional for nearly 30 years, Matt previously served as News Director at Cape Cod Broadcasting, iHeart Media, and Qantum Communications and worked as a broadcast editor and reporter for The Associated Press. His journalism career has earned him three Edward R. Murrow Awards and dozens of Associated Press awards.
A Cape Cod resident for more than 30 years, Matt also brings extensive community involvement and a deep familiarity with the issues affecting the region.
Submit a Housing Question
Attendees are encouraged to submit a housing-related question in advance when registering for the event. Questions should focus on housing, development, construction, or related industry issues with broader regional or statewide relevance, rather than issues specific to an individual town.
Questions may be submitted for the Barnstable County Commissioner candidates, 3rd Barnstable District candidates, or the Legalize Starter Homes campaign representative. Submitted questions will be considered for inclusion in the moderated forum.
