The League of Women Voters of the South Coast invites you to Candidates’ Night on Thursday, April 23, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Multipurpose Room at Sippican School. Please plan to arrive by 6:45 pm and kindly leave all campaign materials outside the school. Attorney Jack Eklund will serve as the moderator.
All candidates for Town Offices have been invited. The evening will feature two engaging components:
Meeting the Candidates: Unopposed candidates will have five minutes to introduce themselves. This is a chance to clearly present qualifications, explain suitability for the role, and demonstrate understanding of the position’s responsibilities. Please note audience questions will not be included in this portion.
Issues Forum: Candidates in contested races will begin with a two-minute opening statement outlining their qualifications and perspectives. The forum will follow League of Women Voters guidelines, including no “empty chair” or proxy representation. Audience members will have the opportunity to submit written questions for these candidates, encouraging thoughtful discussion on key issues.
To confirm your participation, please email Chair Eileen J. Marum at u_emarum@umassd.edu by Friday, April 17. Your timely response is greatly appreciated and helps ensure a well-organized and productive event.
The League of Women Voters and its Education Fund are strictly nonpartisan and do not support or oppose any political party or candidate.
We look forward to an informative and engaging evening of civic dialogue.
