Eight of the 11 candidates on the ballot recorded brief statements highlighting the work of the board or committee and their interest in serving on it.

Participating in this forum are Charles Russo for Select Board, Liam Vesely for Board of Assessors, Ingrid Mayyasi for Goodnow Library Trustee, Ryan Poteat for Park & Recreation Commissioner, Ellen Lederer-DeFrancesco and Julie Durgin for Sudbury School Committee, and Ravi Simon and Jason McLure for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee.

“Every year I am surprised by how much I learn from watching the candidates’ statements,” said Nell Forgacs, LWV voter service chair. “I hope that watching the program will encourage more people to get involved with their local government, and that it will inspire members of our community to join us on March 15 for Meet the Candidates. Meet the Candidates is a fantastic opportunity to meet your future elected officials face-to-face in an informal setting and to share with them your thoughts about how Sudbury should run.”

Meet the Candidates is an informal, drop-in event for candidates running for town offices and school committees. Members of the community can stop by any time and talk to the candidates. Students are encouraged to come and ask questions. Families are welcome. Light, allergy-friendly refreshments will be served.

Eight of the 11 candidates have indicated they will be available to voters at Meet the Candidates. Participating are Charles Russo for Select Board, Ingrid Mayyasi and Elizabeth Iwasaki for Goodnow Library Trustee, Susan Sama for Board of Health, Ryan Poteat for Park & Recreation Commissioner, Ellen Lederer-DeFrancesco and Julie Durgin for Sudbury School Committee, and Ravi Simon and for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee.
