MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee will host the first in a series of Speakers’ Forums as the town’s municipal and general election season begins.

“So you want to run for Public Office” will be the first, on Jan. 28 from 1to 3 p.m. in the downstairs public meeting room of the Mattapoisett Library.

The first forum will be moderated by Nicky Osborne, Mattapoisett Representative to the Old Rochester Regional School Committee Frances-Feliz Kearns and Rochester Representative to the Old Rochester Regional School Committee Matt Monteiro. They will be joined by other local elected representatives who will share about what it takes to run and win a successful campaign for any local public office.

According to a press release from the Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee, “the forum will provide a road map for how to get from pulling papers from your local Clerk at the end of January, to election day. It will provide the tools to encourage those who may have thought about running for public office, but weren’t sure how to do it. We have many of the answers.”

The organizers suggest a $10 donation to Mattapoisett Democrats for all attendees.
