On Saturday, October 4 from 4-6:30PM, the League of Women Voters of Newton, in coordination with the Newton North High School Center for Civic Engagement and Service, and together with its cosponsors (The Village Bank, Fig City News, the Newton Beacon, Charles River Regional Chamber, Green Newton, Newton Council on Aging, Newton Cultural Alliance, and Newton for Everyone) is hosting a community event, Saturday Afternoon at the Races.
This event will be held at the Newton North High School Cafeteria, (457 Walnut Street).
Newton residents will have the opportunity to meet candidates running for municipal office, learn more about the candidates’ positions on important challenges and issues facing Newton, and ask the candidates questions about the issues they most care about. Candidates in attendance will include both incumbents and challengers, and candidates in seats that are contested as well as candidates that are unopposed. While the event is timed to coincide with the beginning of early voting in the municipal election, this event presents an opportunity for residents to create a relationship with their elected officials and hold elected officials accountable even after the election.
