When I ran for BOH I said that I would attend Candidates Night even though I would not be running. I wanted to give the Candidates support during their time at the "mike". It is a great way to meet the people who are running. And I might say I found it exciting to try and convince everyone why they should elect me. I hope all the Candidates attend. And also I hope lots of citizens come out and listen and size up the Candidates. You won't be sorry!!!

I have gone to this event each year since it started. Although I usually have a pretty good idea of who I would cast my vote for before heading in, due to this event I have changed my mind on several candidates in the past due to either what they said.... or didn't say, during Meet the Candidates nights. I encourage everyone to come to this event to educate themselves & be able to vote with a clear conscience on election day.

Is the Patch going to run the Question and Answer series for each candidate as was done last year?

Tewksbury is a great place to be a candidate for any of th above posititions. The greatest fear in any political race is the uninformed voter that has not done his homework. The candidates are willing to give years of public service. The least we can do is to listen to them and maybe ask a few questions privately or publically. Enjoy a Gizzmo free night and join your neighbors while performing your civic responsibility. Never leave obligations and opportunities on something this important to someone that does not share your values. Protect Tewksbury vote inteligently.

I wish this event didn't coincide with the second night of Passover. I'll be happy to see the Q and A in patch for those of us unable to attend the actual event.
