Norwood LWV Hosts Candidates Forum Monday Night

NORWOOD, MA - The League of Women Voters of Norwood is holding its annual Candidates Forum virtually Monday night, March 21 at 7:30 p.m. for the candidates running in contested races in the municipal election on Monday, April 4.

There are three candidates running for two positions on the Board of Selectmen. Incumbent Allan Howard, who won a special election in January for the remainder of the term of deceased Selectman David Hajjar, is running for reelection. Also vying for seats are Bob Donnelly, a member of the Finance Commission, and Amanda Grow, LWV vice president and member of the Rules Committee.

On the School Committee, Joan Giblin is running for reelection. There is another open seat, as longtime member Myev Bodenhofer has decided not to run for reelection, seeking a term on the Finance Commission instead.

In addition to Giblin, Michael S. Condon, Kathleen Sibbing-Dunn, Tylor Joseph Tourville and Michael J. Whouley are on the ballot for the two positions.

The forum will be conducted via Zoom and will air live on Norwood Community Media. The LWV Norwood encourages questions from the public, which can be emailed from this link. They must be received by Friday at 8 p.m.

Candidates for uncontested races will have pre-recorded statements aired after the live forum.
