Voter forums featuring candidates from the contested races in the Medfield Town Election will once again be held to provide citizens with the opportunity to hear their views and get to know them a bit better.
For the 2026 election, two candidates are running for one seat on the Select Board, and four candidates are running for two seats on the School Committee.
Moderating the forums will be former town moderator Scott McDermott.
Participating in the School Committee forum at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11, in Chenery Hall at Medfield Town House, 459 Main St., will be these four candidates:
• Diana Frascella (incumbent)
• Will Horne (incumbent)
• Michael McCabe
• Roseli Weiss
Participating in the Select Board forum at 3 p.m. on Friday, March 13 at the Medfield TV Studio, 18 North Meadows Rd., will be these two candidates:
• Gus Murby (incumbent)
• Pete Saladino
Both forums are open to the public, and voters are encouraged to attend in person at either site or to view the events virtually. Live broadcasts can be viewed on Comcast 22, Verizon 45, medfield.tv/watch or youtube.com/medfieldtv.
All candidates in the 2026 town election have also been invited to record messages to the community at the Medfield TV Studio.
Forum organizers will work together to choose candidate questions for each forum. As part of this, questions that were submitted last year will be considered, and additional community input is welcome. Community members are welcome to submit questions for consideration here: https://tinyurl.com/mvx5e78t. Questions must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 8.
In addition to McDermott, Megan Sullivan from Medfield Environment Action, and Chris McCue Potts, editor/publisher of Medfield Insider, are working with Katie Duval, Executive Director of Medfield TV, on the event.
The Medfield Town Election will be held on Monday, March 30, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at The Center at Ice House Road.
