Wicked Local Brookline's May 4 town election is coming up fast, giving candidates just a few weeks to make their case to voters. The Select Board race is a hot one, with two seats open and five candidates duking it out. This week, the Select Board candidates told the TAB who they are, why they're running and what they bring to the table. Next week we'll feature part two, where we ask the candidates to discuss the issues facing Brookline today. Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity. Names with an asterisk (*) are incumbents: We need real change in Brookline. We need a government that reflects our values, with a clear lens on equity, good governance and inclusivity. I am running to bring that kind of change, that kind of lens, to the work we do here in Brookline.
