Candidates running for office in the March 25 local election will have a chance to share their thoughts on the issues at the Service Club of Andover’s 2025 Candidate Forum on March 11 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall Library.
It will be the second forum, as the Andover/North Andover League of Women Voters will hold a forum for candidate running for school committee– the only contested race in this year’s election — on March 5.

Unlike the League’s forum, the Service Club has also invited candidates running in uncontested race. Canidates expected at the forum include:
- Incumbent moderator Sheila Doherty.
- Incumbent select board members Melissa Danisch and Alex Vispoli.
- The four candidates for two seat on the school committee: incumbents Sanids Wright and Emily DiCesaro, and Jacob Tamarkin and Christopher Shepley.
- Steven R. Pekock, who is running unopposed for the Punchard Free School trustees and Jennifer K. Hoenig, who is seeking a five-year term on the Andover Housing Authority.
The event is open to the public and will be broadcast live by Andover TV on the public access channels Comcast 8 and Verizon 47. The event will also be live-streamed at https://andovertv.org/public and available the following day from Andover TV’s Website.
