Education, affordable housing, environment, public safety, senior services, the local economy, celebrating the diverse culture and history of our town — these issues and more are all impacted by local elections. LexObserver has created this guide to help voters get to know the issues and the candidates so you can make informed decisions on election day.
Click on the posts below to learn more about the candidates. You can also check out our Letters to the Editor section, a robust forum for perspectives on the election. Still wanting more? LexMedia, League of Women Voters, and LexPride have all spoken to the candidates as well. If you are a candidate for Town Meeting and haven’t yet filled out our Q&A, you can do so here.
Lexington’s elections will take place on March 3. You can find more information on the Town’s website, here. Don’t know your precinct number? Check here. And don’t forget to vote!
