Senate Candidate/City Council President Joan B. Lovely will be live chatting with Salem Patch beginning noon on Monday, Aug. 27.

Be sure to head on over to our homepage just before 12 p.m. and join our chat. You'll simply have to provide your name, and you'll be able to ask your questions immediately.

Lovely will be fielding your questions regarding her Senate bid — from your concerns about Salem to those affecting the entire district (Peabody, Salem, Beverly, Danvers and Topsfield) — until  1 p.m.

We are scheduling chats with the other two Democratic candidates in the race as well prior to the Sept. 6 primary. John Slattery's recent chat with Patch can be found here.
