"Please know who you are voting for and understand why you are voting for them
With many of the candidates help, I created 24 videos of our conversations to share with the community (soon to be 25).
They are on YouTube, available via podcast apps, Franklin TV has a schedule for broadcasting them on the Town Hall or Government Channel as well as on the All Access channel.
All you need to do now is gather the info to cast an informed ballot on or before Nov 4 at the High School
Let’s create a scenario:
- candidate gets on the ballot
- stops actively campaigning
- voters cast enough votes to enable that candidate to be one of the 9 for Town Council
- the candidate in this scenario doesn’t step up to fulfill the commitment that they took when they turned in their signed papers
Realistically, this could happen with any of the top 9 should one of them not choose to fulfill their commitment
Folks may think, oh, take the next one
Actually, per Town Charter, that circumstance would kick off a special election to be run within 90 days to fulfill the seat of the candidate who “technically” would have resigned
Elections cost money, and we have enough of a budget issue as it is, we don’t need to add to it with this circumstance
My one ask, please know who you are voting for, and understand why you are voting for them, are they going to serve our community"
