Debate Questions Sought For Mendham School Board Election

MENDHAM, NJ — As part of the buildup to election season, the Morristown Area League of Women Voters (LWV) is hosting a candidates forum for those running for a seat on the Mendham Board of Education.

The forum will be held on Sept. 28 at Mendham Township Elementary School, which is located at 18 W Main St. The debate will begin at 7 p.m. and will serve to promote informed voting in a nonpartisan setting.

The forum will also be streamed live and later on the LWV Morristown Area YouTube channel, which can be found here.

Residents are encouraged to submit questions for the debate and to discuss issues that are important to them and to the community. The League and its co-sponsors will solicit questions from the public online and screen them to eliminate abusive language, personal questions and incorrect phrasing.

Only questions about issues that the candidate could reasonably be expected to address if elected are used.

LWV recently hosted the Chester Board of Education forum on Monday, Sept. 19. The full Chester debate can be viewed on YouTube.

According to the Morris County Clerks' office, four candidates are vying for the three open board seats in Mendham Township. Incumbents Joan Mody, Andrew Christmann and Rochelle Abraham are all running for re-election and are being challenged by Diana Orban Brown.

All four candidates will be speaking at the forum.

Questions will be accepted until Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. To submit a question, click here.
