Have you noticed? The advertising and media frenzy that precedes our fall election cycle has begun, unleashing a new stream of glossy postcards filling our mailboxes, campaign ads and interviews consuming air space on the radio, and colorful signs decorating lawns across the state. This fall Massachusetts voters will go to the ballot box to select not only a new governor, but also other critical state and federal leaders. Citizens for Milford encourages all voters to register to vote and to research their choices so they can make an informed vote. To help you do so, we have published the following two new pages here on our website:

• The Election 2014 page provides a list of ALL the candidates on the Democratic and Republican state primary ballots, as well as a list of the ballot questions that will be included on November’s General Election ballot. This page also includes direct links to each of the candidate’s websites. To visit this page, click here or click the Election 2014 tab above.
• The Vote! page provides a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions and answers about voter registration and how to vote. To visit this page, click here or click the Vote! tab above.

Thank you to all Milford residents who took the time not only to attend our first community meeting on June 11th, but also for sharing your sincere concerns and ideas for improving life in Milford. A lot of great topics were raised! Although no definitive decisions were made, some issues received more enthusiasm than others. Many will be revisited for further discussion.

We look forward to working together with as many citizens and groups in Milford as possible!
