The CAAL and CAAL PAC Candidate Forum was held on January 31, with 58 attendees participating in the Saturday evening event. We thank all the candidates for their thoughtful responses to our questions based on community input and interest, and truly appreciate the time and energy they devoted to engaging with our community.

Following the forum, the CAAL PAC collected feedback and input from participants. CAAL PAC members then met for discussion and deliberation. After careful consideration, CAAL PAC decided to endorse the following candidates:

In order of last name:
School Committee: Mona Roy
Select Board: Doug Lucente, Mark Sandeen
Planning Board: Kunal Botla, Lin Jensen

CAAL PAC will encourage the community to support its endorsed candidates. We are fortunate to live in such an amazing town, with enthusiastic and talented candidates willing to serve our community. We wish all the candidates the best of luck in the March 2 election.

Thanks so much, 

Melanie Lin

Chair of CAAL PAC
