Around Town

Hingham Town Election has been set for Saturday, May 14. While all races are important, we wanted to call attention to the School Committee race where there are four candidates running for three seats. There are many ways to get to know the candidates and where they stand on issues, but one great way is through candidate forums. Various organizations throughout town will host forums and we will post dates as they become available:

Thursday, April 28, 7:30 PM: The Hingham Unity Council and SEPAC Candidates Forum on Equity via Facebook Live

Tuesday, May 3, 7PM: Hingham Democratic Town Committee Candidate's Town Election Forum via Zoom

Wednesday, May 4, 7 PM: League of Women Voters Candidates Night at Town Hall or via livestream
