Barnstable Election 2021: Candidates Night Approaching

BARNSTABLE, MA — The Barnstable town election is less than two weeks away, but before voters head to the polls, they'll have an opportunity to see where the school committee candidates stand.

At 6:30 p.m., Thursday, the League of Women Voters of the Cape Cod Area will host a virtual debate with the five candidates for Barnstable School Committee. Incumbent Stephanie Ellis is seeking re-election, but Barbara Dunn isn't. Ellis will face four challengers for the two spots, including Peter Goode, Andre King, Sara Gonzalez and Linda Letourneau.

There will also be races for town council, housing authority and town clerk. But just one of the town council districts will see a contested race. That's Precinct 12, where incumbent Paula Schnepp will square off against Donald Lynde.

How to Attend

To attend the virtual debate, register by emailing capecodforum@gmail.com. Questions for candidates can also be sent to the same email. Once you register, you'll be sent a Zoom link to attend the debate.
