Wicked Local
When Michael Hinchliffe first joined the Georgetown School Committee in 2014, it was for a temporary appointment because no one had run to fill a seat that needed to be filled.
He ran unopposed for a full term the following term, and he ran unopposed again in 2018.
But times have changed. With a pandemic having shuttered schools and businesses for months and a potential fiscal crisis looming on the horizon, local elections are packed with new candidates.
Now, Hinchliffe is running for re-election as the incumbent in his first competitive race, and he’s asking Georgetown to keep him onboard to help the schools navigate the uncertainty coming.
