League of Women Voters members from Hull, under the auspices of the LWV of Hingham, are sponsoring a local candidates forum on Thursday, May 2, at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at the Memorial Middle School, 81 Central Ave.

At the forum, each candidate will be invited to make a two-minute statement, beginning with candidates for offices that are uncontested. Candidates in contested races will have the opportunity to make statements and answer questions posed by a moderator so long as at least two candidates in the race appear at the forum.

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan political organization. As an organization, we do not support or oppose candidates or political parties. The League encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Through study and consensus around issues, we advocate for change.

We are a three-tier organization – national, state, and our local Hingham League, which serves Cohasset, Hingham, and Hull. We hold candidates forums, the town meeting warrant review, register voters, meet with our legislators, and hold a variety of public education forums to encourage all to have a voice in their government.
