Candidates for Wellesley town-wide government offices this week will have a chance to share their views on hot button issues at forums being held on back-to-back nights at Wellesley Free Library.
Sustainable Wellesley hosts its Conversation with the Candidates on all things green at Wellesley Free Library’s main branch (530 Washington St.) on Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 7pm.
The following night, Thursday, Feb. 12 at 6:30pm, the League of Women Voters of Wellesley hosts its annual Meet the Candidates Night at the library.
Wellesley Media will be airing these discussions and posting recordings later on.
The contested town-wide races for the March 3 election are for Select Board (3 candidates for 2 slots) and School Committee (4 candidates for 2 slots).
The town lists all town-wide candidates (note that Mary Crown is no longer a School Committee candidate) on its web site as well as other election and voting information.
We’ve reached out to candidates in these races and plan to run profiles/Q&As later this week pending receipt of responses.
Separately, the Charles River Regional Chamber has invited Select Board candidates to take part in an online debate on Feb. 27 from 10-11am. The focus will be on issues related to economic development, housing, workforce and the environment.
