Good Morning, Burlington!

Campaign season is kicking off for the town election—candidates are already sending out postcards and event invites, creating their websites and Facebook pages. I’ll be interviewing some candidates soon, but wanted to let you know where to find information about the campaigns so you can start thinking about who you’ll vote for.

We’ll start with School Committee. Three candidates are running this year for two seats, making this one of only two contested elections for town-wide seats. Find out more about the candidates below, and look out for their interviews on the podcast sometime next week.

Katherine Bond (Incumbent):

Kickoff event: This Friday, March 3, at the American Legion at 6:00 PM
