Statement regarding Candidates’ Information
The Town of Berlin does not provide information regarding candidate positions, opinions or plans. Providing such information would not be possible without creating a conflict of interest or appearance of bias. It is up to the individual candidate to get their message out to potential voters. Many candidates have websites or Facebook pages where information can be found regarding their stance on various topics or where contact information can be found.
If scheduled, candidate forums are held by entities or organizations completely separate from the Town. Please note that, as a courtesy to our citizens, we are providing the link below regarding upcoming candidate forums being held by The Dispatch newspaper. https://mdcoastdispatch.com/2020/08/06/the-dispatch-to-hold-berlin-candidate-zoom-sessions-next-month/.
