Election Day Is Tuesday, November 6. Do You Know Where Your Candidates Are?
Vote Medford 2007 is an independent, citizen-led initiative to help voters learn how this year’s candidates for Medford City Council and Medford School Committee view our city and issues important to it.
The questions on this website were collaboratively submitted, compiled and edited by Medford citizens and an advisory group of 43 local community organizations. Approximately 300 questions were submitted to us online or through drop-off boxes established at the Medford Square Market and the Danish Pastry House on Boston Avenue. Two questionnaires were developed from those questions and then submitted to the candidates, who have agreed to have their responses posted verbatim to this site.
Mayor Michael McGlynn is running unopposed this year, but he took part in this project by responding to a separate questionnaire.

Questions similar to those on this website are the basis of a candidate-interview program that will be broadcast later in October on TV3, Medford's public-access station, and by links on our website.
