ROCKPORT — PenBayPilot.com will host a Rockport Select Board Candidates’ Forum Tuesday, May 26, from 6 to 8 p.m., in the Parker Room at the Rockport Opera House (downstairs).

Maine Representative Vicki Doudera, of Camden, will be the moderator.

The public is invited to attend and ask questions of the six candidates who are seeking a seat on the Select Board. The forum will be streamed live and available to watch later for those unable to attend.

There are three open Rockport Select Board seats up for election June 9 at annual Town Meeting. Four candidates are seeking election to two of the seats that carry three-year terms. Those candidates are incumbents Kimberlee Graffam and Michael Thompson, as well as Samantha Appleton and Darren Robbins. 

The one-year seat will fill out the remaining three-year term vacated by Select Board member Michelle Hannan, who resigned from the Rockport Select Board last winter. For that one-year seat, there are three candidates: Linda Greenlaw, Craig Mitchell and Geoffrey Parker.

The forum will focus on municipal issues, and questions will be entertained from the public in attendance. If you would like to submit questions for consideration but are unable to attend, email them to news@penbaypilot.com. 

Plan to get better acquainted with those stepping forward to serve the town, and understand their ideas and positions before casting a vote at annual Town Meeting.
