Haverhill mayoral candidates—City Councilor Melinda E. Barrett and retired Haverhill Police Officer Guy E. Cooper—were put to the test last night by students during a forum at Haverhill High School.

Moderators David Martinez and Sean Wynn, students of instructor Shaun Ashworth’s Advanced Placement Government class, peppered the candidates with a variety of questions from housing to taxes. The one-hour forum will be heard in its entirety tonight at 7 p.m. over 97.9 WHAV and WHAV.net.

During, what was called “a lightning round of this or that,” Barrett and Cooper chose their favorite local ice cream stands, pizza places, gyms, Haverhill park and favorite local news source.

“This might be the most difficult question—WHAV or Eagle-Tribune,” a moderator asked. “Now, you’re trying to get us in trouble,” Cooper quipped. Barrett responded, “I’ll go with WHAV,” and was quickly followed by Cooper’s “WHAV” and audience cheers.

Hear it for yourself. Again, the entire forum is heard tonight at 7 p.m., over 97.9 WHAV and WHAV.net.

The final election is next Tuesday, Nov. 7.
