The Westford Public Library is proud to impartially inform the community on its choices for local government.
Moderated by Westford Public Library Director, Bree Drapa
The zoom audience will be muted, with cameras off, maximizing time for candidates to answer questions and minimizing distractions.
This event will be recorded by LCATV and will be available to watch later.
Each candidate will have time to introduce themselves and speak about their priorities for the upcoming term. This is not a debate. It is an informational meeting that will help voters get to know each candidate better. Candidates will also answer a few pre-submitted questions.
New this year – questions will be reviewed and possibly edited for clarity, content, and civility by town moderator, Lee McClenny, and event host, Bree Drapa.
Here is how you can ask questions:
1. For transparency sake - We are using a polling website called Slido. Slido offers an opportunity to ask questions or prioritize questions that others have submitted. So, you can "vote" for questions even if you don't ask any. This helps get the most popular questions answered during our forum.
To ask a question or see what others are asking, click on:

(Questions will be accepted 2/7 through 2/13, candidates will be given questions ahead of time)
2. If that seems too challenging, please email westfordpubliclibrary@gmail.com with your question or call us at 802-878-5639 and I will add it to Slido for others to see.
Question format:
Please enter the NAME of the candidate or BOARD/CLERK for every candidate in that role. (ex. BOARD - What is your favorite color? or BREE - What pets do you have?)
