The League of Women Voters of Newton (LWVN) will include Allison Sharma, write-in candidate for Ward 4 Ward Councilor, in its candidates’ forums and voter guide. Although Ms. Sharma missed the deadline to be on the ballot, she has demonstrated that she is a serious candidate by making a public announcement of her candidacy, having a presence on Facebook, establishing a website, and most importantly, filing as a candidate with the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF). The LWVN Board has determined that these actions meet the threshold for inclusion in our voter service activities for the upcoming municipal election, in accordance with LWV policy.
Please stay tuned for a calendar of candidates’ forums!
