Southborough’s annual election is in less than a day. I’m updating readers on the details for the races (and non-races).
As I’ve previously covered, there are two official races on the ballot and one new write-in campaign.
Note: This close to the election, I don’t allow negative comments about candidates’ because I don’t feel that it gives enough fair notice for them to respond (and readers to see those responses). But you can still post endorsement comments for who you will be voting for and why (within reason).
You can read my coverage of the Select Board panel at Candidates’ Night here. Below are links to the candidates’ statement, including the Northborough candidates’ statements posted by the Community Advocate.
Select Board – vote for one – 3 year term:
- Andrew Dennington (incumbent) (candidate’s statement)
- Joe Palmer (candidate’s statement)
Northborough candidates for Regional School Committee – vote for two – 3 year term:
- Kathleen Howland (incumbent) (CA candidate’s statement)
- Gigi Lisa Howell (CA candidate’s statement)
- Christopher Allen Lacasse (CA candidate’s statement)
Planning Board – vote for one – 5 year term
- Marnie Hoolahan (incumbent) (candidate’s statement)
- Alan S. Belniak (write-in) (candidate’s statement)
Voting takes place tomorrow (Tuesday, May 14th) between 6:30 am – 8:00 pm at Trottier Middle School, 49 Parkerville Road.
If you applied to vote by mail and haven’t yet return your ballot, make sure to get it in by the end of voting. (There is an official election drop box at the Town House, 17 Common Street. DO NOT use the Town’s other drop-box for other documents and DO NOT bring your mail-in ballot to Trottier. If you have any questions, please reach out directly to the Town Clerk’s office at 508-485-0710, ext. 3005.)
