Questions for this year’s slate of Brattleboro selectboard candidates have been emailed. As always, we’ll publish the answers as we get ’em.
Reminder to those running for other offices – feel free to publish your own candidate statements and opinion pieces anytime. Voters are interested and looking for information.
Reminder
A reminder that if you are running for selectboard and didn’t get questions emailed, check your spam folder or get in touch. We left no one out. : )
Also a reminder that it is a good time for town meeting reps to make their case for holding office, and for citizens to write up opinions on whether or not ballot initiatives or budget matters are worthy. Want retail cannabis in town? Want to weigh in on water treatment? How about tax rates? Schools? Share your views… we have no word limit and we don’t edit your argument.

Candidates and forum
The official candidates as I have them are:
3 year seat (choose 1): Ian Goodnow, Rikki Risatti
1 year seat (choose 2): Evan Chadwick, Kurt Daims, Jessica Gelter, Daniel Quipp, Rikki Risatti, Jackson Stein, and Gary Stroud.
Gary has withdrawn for health reasons.
Stay tuned for word on a candidates forum. I’m trying to work with some other folks to put this together. I’d love to host zoom session with candidates so everyone can introduce themselves, talk about some issues, and answer some questions. It’s a tradition, and pandemics won’t stop it!
