Milford Group Planning Candidate Forums Before June Election

MILFORD, MA — The Citizens for Milford group will host a series of candidate forums next week ahead of the now-rescheduled town election.

The town election features races from the Board of Selectmen to the Highway Supervisor, and has been rescheduled to June 16 due to coronavirus. The election was originally scheduled for April 7, but the ballot has not changed.

Citizens for Milford member José Costa will moderate each forum, which will feature questions submitted by the public to candidates in contested races. You can send your questions to the Citizens for Milford Facebook page or by emailing citizensformilford@gmail.com.

"Providing information to voters during our town election season is an ongoing commitment for Citizens for Milford," Chairman Steve Trettel said in a statement. "With the town election postponed to June 16, we are pleased to modify our typical forum format for these challenging times and urge all voters to tune in and participate by sending questions for the candidates."

The forums will be broadcast live on Milford TV and through the teleconferencing app Zoom. Each forum will take place at 7 p.m. in the following order:

• April 28 — Library Board of Trustees candidates
• April 30 — Board of Selectmen candidates
• May 5 — School Committee candidates
• May 7 — Highway Surveyor candidates on Thursday
