First Of Four Milford Candidate Forums Debuts Tuesday

MILFORD, MA — Citizens for Milford will soon host a series of forums featuring candidates in key races in the 2021 spring election.

The series of four forums will begin on March 9 and feature candidates running for Town Moderator, School Committee, Parks Commissioner and the Board of Assessors. During the forums, candidates will get to ask each other "challenge questions." The candidates will also answer questions from the public.

"Providing information to voters during our town election season is an ongoing commitment for Citizens for Milford," Chair Gerri Eddins said in a statement. "With the town election slated for April 6, we are pleased to continue our tradition of hosting candidate forum events. We urge all voters to tune into Milford TV and participate by sending questions for the candidates.”

Here's the lineup for the forums (all begin at 7 p.m.), which will be moderated by Citizens for Milford member José Costa:

• March 9 — Parks Commissioner candidates Joseph Arcudi (i) and William Cavazza III
• March 16 — Board of Assessors candidates Joshua Lioce (i) and James Wheelock
• March 17 — Town Moderator candidate Gerald Moody Sr. (second candidate Michelangelo Bon Tempo declined to participate)
• March 18 — School Committee candidates Meghan Hornberger (i), RJ Sheedy, Matthew Zacchilli, Christopher Wilson (i) and Wilfredo Vasquez Jr.

The forums will be recorded and rebroadcast on Milford TV, but will also be live on Comcast channel 11 and Verizon channel 40. Milford TV will also stream the forums on MilfordTV.net. Anyone who wants to submit a question should email citizensformilford@gmail.com. Questions can also be posted on the Citizens for Milford Facebook page.
