Annual Milford Candidates Forum Coming Ahead Of Election 2024

MILFORD, MA — With Milford's spring election approaching in early April, Citizens for Milford is back this year with its annual candidates' forum.

Seats on 11 boards and commission are up for election in 2024, but only two races are contested: school committee and the health board. Four candidates are running for three school committee seats, and three candidates are running for an opening on the health board.

Here's more from a Citizens for Milford news release:

Citizens for Milford, in partnership with Milford TV, invites all Milford voters to attend the 11th annual candidate forum featuring candidates in contested races in Milford’s upcoming town election.

The forum will be held March 13 at 7 p.m. and will feature candidates running for one seat on the Board of Health and candidates running for three seats on the School Committee. The forum will take place in Upper Town Hall. All candidates have been invited to meet voters beginning at 6:30 p.m. before the forum begins. This event is free and open to the public.

Candidates running for Board of Health who will be participating in the forum include Loriann Braza and Diana Haynes. The third candidate vying for this seat, Charles Skaff, is not available to participate. All four School Committee candidates will be participating, which include Gregory Allegrezza, Meghan Hornberger, Christopher Wilson, and Matthew Zachilli.

Citizens for Milford members José Costa and Geri Eddins will moderate the forum. A highlight of the forum will be the opportunity for audience members to pose their own questions to the candidates.

Citizens for Milford Vice Chair Kim Smith states, “It is an honor for Citizens for Milford to be hosting the Candidate Forum for the eleventh year. We urge voters to join us in Town Hall on March 13 to meet the candidates and ask their own questions regarding issues confronting the community and our schools."
