Nomination papers to run for elected office in Holliston will be available on February 3, 2014, at the Town Clerk's office in Town Hall.

This is a great opportunity to help your community. Running for a Town Office
and sharing your knowledge and expertise is a very rewarding and enlightening
experience. Holliston is dependent on volunteers, which is one of the reasons it is such a great place to live. Some offices require more time than others, but please think about giving back to the community.

                Board of Selectmen                        3 year term     1 position

In order to run for public office a person must be at least 18 years old, be a registered voter in town and collect 50 signatures from registered voters by April 1, 2014. The Town

I am running for re-election to the Holliston Board of Assessors.

What I like about Holliston is that our elections are non partisan so no one has to be a member of any political party or even have a lot of money to become a candidate for local elected office. This could be the entry level position for a life long career in politics and public service.
