We have two debates for you tonight to get a sense of the candidates running for both the Select Board and the School Committee. There are new and repeated candidates on each side and this should give you a better sense of the candidates and what they can bring to our town. The first debate will start at 6:30 and will feature the school committee candidate. Unfortunately, due to time conflicts, two of the School Committee candidates are unable to make it to the studio - Becky Lord and Mallory Mahoney. The other two candidates will be participating in the debate: Jesse Fennelly and Stephen Turner, both looking for re-election. There are 3 seats up for consideration. The second debate will begin at 7:45 with all three candidates present for the debate. There are 2 seats up for consideration with Kevin Caira looking for re-election and the other two candidates Steven Hunt and Jacob Gearwar in contention for these positions. We would like to thank Robert Hayes from the Wilmington Apple for his help coordinating these debates. He will be joined by Peter Currier (Lowell Sun) and Lizzy Hill (Town Crier) as panelists asking questions. Town moderator Jonathan Eaton will also be participating as the host of these debates.
