Do you have questions for the candidates in Sudbury’s Annual Town Election?
Come to the League of Women Voters’ Meet the Candidates event this Sunday, March 16, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Goodnow Library and ask your questions.
All the candidates in the contested races for Select Board, Sudbury School Committee and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee have indicated they expect to attend. Most candidates in uncontested races for town offices will also be on hand.
Meet the Candidates is an informal, drop-in event. Members of the community can stop by any time to meet and talk to the candidates running for town offices and school committees. Students are encouraged to come and ask questions. Families are welcome. Light, allergy-friendly refreshments will be served.
In addition, the LWV Candidates’ Forum programs for the March 31 election are now available. There are separate programs for the three contested races: Select Board, the two-year seat on the Sudbury School Committee, and the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee.
