With no candidates withdrawing their names by the deadline yesterday, the April 8, 2025 local election ballot has been set. Dozens of candidates have already submitted information to our site for the upcoming election and we encourage all candidates to submit their bio, head-shot and links to our comprehensive Election 2025 page. In addition, we will be reaching out next week to the candidates in the contested races for Select Board and School Committee to participate in our Cafe Conversations series. More information on that to follow.
