Questions For Braintree Candidates? Send Them To Patch

BRAINTREE, MA — The 2021 Braintree municipal election is just a few weeks away, which means it's time for voters to start getting acquainted with candidates.

Patch will soon begin sending questionnaires to candidates running in the School Committee and Town Council races. We have our own questions in mind, but we'd also like to hear yours. Email your candidate question ideas to jimmy.bentley@patch.com.
