AMHERST Nomination papers to run for elective office aren’t available in Amherst yet, but the League of Women Voters of Amherst is already working to ensure there will be interested candidates, including people from often underrepresented groups.
With the racial and ethnic diversity on town boards and committees limited, the League is organizing two webinars this month, the first on Thursday evening and the second on April 15, under the title “Running for Elective Office in Amherst 2021.”
“We want to reach people and have diversity in our town government,” said Joan Rabin, a League member coordinating the events.
