The Tri-Town League of Women Voters will hold a candidates’ night to discuss local issues in Marion’s three contested races. It is scheduled for Wednesday, April 30 at 7 p.m. in the Music Hall, 164 Front St. Marion.

There are six elected positions that must be filled. For the Select Board, challenger William Dale Jones will face incumbent Steve Cushing. The Planning Board has three open positions with four candidates on the ballot: Eileen Marum, Michael Popitz, and Robert Lane will challenge incumbent Ted North. The Marion School Committee has two open positions: Michele Ouellette and Christine Winters are running again for another three-year term, and they are challenged by newcomer Kate Houdelette.

Eight positions are unopposed: Ray Pickles for Town Clerk, Catherine Gibbs for the Assessor, David Titus for Town Moderator, Elizabeth Dunn for the Board of Health, Paul Goulet for ORR School Committee, Joseph Keogh and Jeffrey Oakes for two positions on the Open Space Acquisition Commission, and no one has filed to run for the position of Tree Warden being vacated by Tim Crowley.

Last year only 10 percent of Marion’s registered voters decided the outcome of the election. The League of Women Voters has said they would like to see that number higher this year.
