Final reminder: What is the ONE question would you ask of each candidate for the Town of Franklin 2023 Election?

The candidate lists is "final" for the November 7, 2023 Biennial Town of Franklin Election. The nomination papers were turned in and validated by the Town Clerk September 6. 

The candidates have until September 22 to decide to withdraw their name from the ballot. If they choose to stop their campaign after that date, their name will still appear on the ballot.

It is now time for us (together) to prepare the set of interview questions. 

  • Which one question would you ask of a Town Council candidate? School Committee candidate? etc...

Submit one question per elected position via the form below. 

Your email is required to avoid nefarious folks from interfering with this process. Your email will only be used (1) to verify the question if not completely understood, and (2) to ensure you get a copy of the final set of questions. 

Note: the question set would likely be similar to prior years. We would have 3-4 questions that would generally apply to all candidates and at least 1 (maybe 2) for specific positions. I want the question set short so we (the candidates and interviewers) can proceed efficiently, and concise to provide answers so Franklin voters can make an informed choice for each elected position.

Based upon feedback obtained after the last election, every effort will be made to provide interviews in all three formats (video, audio, and text transcript). The video interview would be recorded, audio extracted, and audio transcribed. This will require the coordination and willingness of the candidates to be available for this interview to be scheduled in time to turn it all around.

Input to the questions will close as of Sunday, September 10

Save the Date: Meet the Candidates Event Tuesday, Oct 17, at the Elks

Please SAVE THE DATE for a Meet the Candidates Event October 17, Sponsored by Franklin Observer

The Franklin Observer is planning a social evening and "debate" for candidates and the public on Tuesday, October 17 from approximately 6 PM to 10 PM at the Franklin Elks, 1077 Pond Street.

The event, which will feature complimentary light foods with drinks available for purchase at the bar, will open with an informal meet-and-greet for candidates and attendees. That will be followed by a more formal program for competitive races, with breaks for socializing.

"We are excited to organize this event at the welcoming facility of the Elks," said Franklin Observer editor, Alan Earls. "In the past, these events have been anything but social and we hope to change that and give voters a chance to really get to know the candidates and the issues and enjoy a genuinely fun night out with other residents," he continued.

To defray room costs, attendees are encouraged, but not required, to make a suggested donation of $5 per person.

Many details are still in development so expect further communications...Franklin TV has been invited and will likely be present.


Best Regards,

Alan
