Town Election: Invitation to Candidates

Last year, I was happy to see all four candidates for Selectman participate in this blog--including podcast interviews. The current election features a contested race for planning board.

First of all, if you are not currently registered to vote, tomorrow is the last day to register in time to be eligible to vote on Tuesday, April 28.

Second, I hope everyone who can will take advantage of the League of Women Voters Candidate Forum on Sunday, April 19, from 3pm-5pm at the First Parish Hall at the intersection of Nahatan and Clapboardtree Streets to meet all the candidates.

Finally, I would like to invite all candidates to participate here on WestwoodBlog by posting their platforms, introductions, statements, etc.

Ground Rules

• I will not endorse any candidate.
• I will assist any candidate to post information. Send me a statement and I will put it up on the site as yours. If you have a photo or graphic, I will do what I can to help with that, but remember...we're all volunteers!
• I will not edit materials submitted by candidates as long as they are willing to put their names on it and the material does not subject me to a lawsuit.
• I will not moderate comments from residents who are willing to identify themselves. However, bear in mind this creates an additional problem for me if someone posts a comment claiming to be someone they are not. If there is any doubt, I will contact the poster by email (your email address is required, but not published, when you make a comment.) If there is any doubt, I'll take the post down until I can verify the identity of the poster.
• I will continue to allow anonymous comments, e.g. "Guest64", but I may exercise more editorial discretion as necessary to keep the discussion civil.
