Voters Guide: Newton Municipal Election, November 4, 2025

Welcome to the LWV Newton 2025 Municipal Election Voters Guide

The LWVN publishes Voters Guides before each election to help voters learn more about candidates. For this Voters Guide guide, we invited all candidates to answer a set of questions relevant to their office.  Once a candidate has submitted answers, their name below will become a link to a page displaying their basic information and their answers.

For more information, including poll locations and sample ballots, visit the Newton Election Department.
