Middleboro’s 2026 Candidates Night, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Middleboro/Lakeville and Nemasket Week, saw dozens of citizens who heard from fellow community members on their plans to serve in elected town offices. Throughout the evening, residents posed questions and our very own Bob Saquet was the moderator, keeping the show running to give candidates an equal amount of time to deliver their answers to the community.
Candidates running for the Middleboro School Committee and Select Board gave opening remarks on why they entered the races, and then answered questions from the crowd of resident attendees at the Middleboro Council on Aging.
The seats of two sitting Select Board members, Mark Germain and Thomas White, expire this year. The incumbents are running against lifelong Middleboro resident and longtime Lakeville town employee Tracie Craig-McGee.
On the school committee, incumbents Jessica Chartoff and Allin Frawley are against four newcomer candidates, after candidate Robert Sullivan withdrew from the race last week. With six candidates running for three, three-year term seats it is the most contested race in town.
Town elections are scheduled to take place on April 4, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Find information on polling places and more on the Middleboro Town Clerk website.
