The Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee will hold its first meeting of 2025 on Wednesday January 29 at 6:00 pm in the downstairs public meeting room of the Mattapoisett Library. We will offer our forum, “So you want to run for Public Office,” providing useful tips and information for anyone interested in running for public office or being appointed to any one of our town boards.
This forum will be moderated by Nicki Demakis, Chair of the Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee, with contributions from Nicky Osborne, Treasurer of the Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee and Frances-Feliz Kearns, Mattapoisett Representative to the ORR School Committee. They will be joined by other local elected and appointed representatives who will share their tips and insight into what it takes to run and win a successful campaign for any local public office.
The forum will provide a road map from pulling papers with your local Clerk, to how to run and manage a campaign through election day. We will provide the tools to encourage those who may have thought about running for public office but weren’t sure how to do it. We have the answers.
We will highlight the list of all elected positions up in 2025 as well as open slots on appointive boards and committees which offer great opportunities for volunteer service to our town.
Please come with a neighbor, family member or friend and bring any questions you might have or just listen in. For more information, please reach out to Nicki Demakis, Chair, at ndemakis@tidlaw.com.
