We thought you might find it helpful to understand the process we undertook to produce the Voter’s Guide. To begin, questions were drafted for the candidates based on information we thought would be helpful for voters to know. Then we sought contact information from the chairmen of both political parties. Final edits were made and all candidates were emailed the questions and allowed ten days to respond. The volunteer production staff at the Observer spent numerous additional hours preparing this month’s edition for 40 pages in order to fit the Voter’s Guide and ballot into the paper.
Town Election, November 4, Suffield Middle School 6 a.m. – 8 p.m.
The Observer asked all candidates: “What are your qualifications for this office?” Candidates were also asked another relevant question. Responses were limited to 200 words. FIRST SELECTMAN – Vote for up to OneQuestion for First Selectman: What do you think is the most pressing issue in Suffield? How would you address it? JIM IRWIN – DI am no stranger to public service.
