Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Every year for as long as I can remember, the Hanover
Woman’s Club, Juniors (and the League of Women Voters before them) hosts
the all-important Annual Hanover Candidate’s Night prior to the May
Annual Town Elections. This year is certainly no exception. On
Tuesday, April 28th beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the large meeting room
at Town Hall, candidates for town-wide office will state their views on the
various issues facing our town and their respective sought-after offices.
This year there are contested races for both Selectman and
the Board of Health, as well as the all-important Town Manager ballot
question. Candidates for positions on the Board of Assessors, Board of
Public Works, Housing Authority, Planning Board, School Committee, Library
Trustees and the position of Town Moderator have also been asked to
attend. A representative from the Town Manager Study Committee will
outline that proposal, too.
Audience members will receive a packet of background resumes
upon their arrival. Candidates will make opening statements, and then the
audience will be invited to write down their questions and submit them to the
Candidate’s Night moderator (yours truly!) for consideration. The
moderator will then run a round-robin question and answer session.
Hanover Candidate’s Night is always an informative and
lively evening. A well-educated electorate is a cornerstone of successful
democracy. Don’t miss it! I’ll look forward to seeing
you there.
