The Candidates’ Forum for the March 30 Annual Town Election is now available.
Voters can view the program on demand via the LWV Voters’ Guide or sudburytv.org. A cable subscription is not needed to view the programs on demand on a computer or smartphone.
The forum will run on SudburyTV’s cable channels, Comcast 22 and 1074 and Verizon 30 and 2130, during March. Viewers can find the SudburyTV cable broadcast schedule here.
Eight of the 11 candidates on the ballot recorded brief statements highlighting the work of the board or committee and their interest in serving on it. Participating in this forum are Charles Russo for Select Board, Liam Vesely for Board of Assessors, Ingrid Mayyasi for Goodnow Library Trustee, Ryan Poteat for Park & Recreation Commissioner, Ellen Lederer-DeFrancesco and Julie Durgin for Sudbury School Committee, and Ravi Simon and Jason McLure for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee.
Voters can view these statements by clicking on the candidate’s image in the Voters’ Guide, or by viewing the program in its entirety via the Voters’ Guide, sudburytv.org, or cable television.
“Every year I am surprised by how much I learn from watching the candidates’ statements,” said Nell Forgacs, LWV voter service chair. “I hope that watching the program will encourage more people to get involved with their local government, and that it will inspire members of our community to join us on March 15 for Meet the Candidates. Meet the Candidates is a fantastic opportunity to meet your future elected officials face-to-face in an informal setting and to share with them your thoughts about how Sudbury should run.”
The drop-in Meet the Candidates event will be held in the Goodnow Library from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 15.
