Brewer's challengers offer contrasting styles

By Bob Burtt Record staff
When Cambridge voters choose a mayor next month, style might have as much do with their choice as policy and platform.More than 100 people watched Thursday as the four Cambridge mayoral candidates handled questions at a lively meeting organized by the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce at the Preston Auditorium.

Henson has a degree in business administration and a diploma in electrical engineering.

The meeting had its lighter moments. Resident Fatima Pereira Henson prefaced a question with the explanation that she was married to one of the candidates but was still undecided about how to vote. "Sorry, dear," she said to husband Earl.

Later, after PereiraHenson asked a question that sparked a long debate, it was her husband's turn.

"Now you know why I should be mayor," he told the audience. "I survived this for 15 years."
