To all incumbents running to hold their seats and to all who wish to challenge them: Stockbridge Updates will publish “Stockbridge Candidates Q & A” before election day in May 2021. We will videotape the candidates’ answers or print them, whichever the candidate prefers. To assure fairness, we will collect statements and answers whenever the candidate is ready and publish them all in the same issue. SU will provide space/time for an opening statement and then ask three questions of each.
