Milford Candidates Forum Coming Up In March

MILFORD, MA — The election is right around the corner. No, not the presidential primary (although that is on March 3), but the spring town election.

In advance, Citizens for Milford will host a candidates night in March for anyone running in a contested race. The election is on April 7 and the last day to register to vote is March 18.

"The forum provides an ideal opportunity for residents to meet the candidates, hear their ideas for our community, and discover where they each stand on critical issues. We encourage all Milford voters to join us and to come prepared with questions to ask the candidates,” Citizens for Milford Chairman Steve Trettel said in a news release.

The forum is set for March 19 in the parish hall at the Saint Mary of the Assumption Church, 17 Winter St. Candidates will be available to meet beginning at 6:30 p.m., and the forum will begin at 7 p.m. Each candidate will give a two-minute opening statement and then answer questions posed by members of the audience and Citizens for Milford representatives.
