Republican voters of the Town of Brandon are requested to meet in caucus at the Brandon Public Library, 4 Franklin Street, at 7PM on Tuesday, August 7, to nominate 12 candidates for Justice of the Peace to appear on the November ballot. For more information, or to express interest in running to be elected JP as a Republican, visit www.brandon.gop or contact Seth Hopkins, Republican Town Chair, at 247-1460 or oskarhop@me.com

JPs do more than weddings: they decide tax appeals and abatements, serve as election officers, and constitute the board of civil authority. As Brandon is about to commence its town-wide re-assessment, there may be more activity in the near future than in the recent past.
