The Voters Guide was compiled with the League of Women Voters of Weston. Candidates for the Nov. 3 municipal election were asked to answer a general question within a word limit and to provide a brief biography and photo.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan volunteer organization, which encourages active and informed participation of citizens in government, seeks to increase understanding of public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The Weston league sponsors public forums at which voters may see and hear candidates discuss the issues; helps register voters; holds open meetings on issues of current interest and importance; and studies and takes action on issues on which the membership has developed a position by consensus of the membership.

The league supports or opposes legislation after thorough study and substantial membership agreement. The league does not support or oppose any political party or candidate.

The Weston league has published two informative brochures for Westonites: “Town of Weston: Guide to Government” and the “Know Your Town Directory.” Both publications are available in the library or at Weston Town Hall.

Any citizen may become a league member. Visit the league’s Web site at www.lwvweston.org or write to PO Box 1081, Weston, CT 06883.
