If you find yourself four day before the municipal election still not 100% sure who you want to vote for in all the contested City Council races, here’s another opportunity to see a whole lot of candidates at once! No speeches or debates, just conversations with candidates running for Ward and Citywide Council seats, for ALL races, contested and uncontested.
It’s called Saturday Night at the Races!! Learn what Newton’s City Council candidates want to do for you about local traffic, housing, climate change and more on Saturday, November 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the War Memorial at City Hall. This is a drop-in event, free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by Green Newton, League of Women Voters of Newton, Mothers Out Front, Newton Council on Aging, Newton Conservators and the Newton-Needham Regional Chamber. Questions? Please e-mail [email protected].
I’ve received multiple offers for private meet and greets with select groups of candidates. This is the only inside opportunity* where any voter can meet and talk with candidates who may substantially disagree on issues – zoning, development, traffic, trees – in one place.
*Outside opportunity is the Harvest Fair!
