Fourth Congressional District candidate Sean Bielat answered reader questions earlier today in a live chat here on Mansfield Patch.

Bielat, a Republican, is facing Democrat Joe Kennedy III to fill the seat of retiring Congressman Barney Frank, of Newton. 

Kennedy will participate in a similar live chat Q&A tomorrow, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m.

Questions submitted will be subject to moderator approval. No vulgar or libelous comments will be allowed. Because we expect a high volume of questions for the chat session, we will keep the questions issue-related and not repetitive.
