davis_squareWe're having a special election for Ward 6 School Committee next Tuesday, because Paul Bockelman resigned in order to become Town Manager in Amherst. You have to really drill down on the city's website to even know this is happening. I've seen one or two official paper signs around town announcing it.
There's only one candidate on the ballot, Paula O'Sullivan. I know nothing about her, as I've never encountered her or her campaign in any way. Any further information would be appreciated.

I met Paula during her campaign

I chatted with her when she was collecting signatures. I had seen her face before but don't know her well.
Short summary - professional experience in education, current parent of several elementary and middle school age kids in SPS, willing to get involved and step into outgoing committee member Paul Bockelman's shoes.
In my book a candidate who seems to have honest motivations and a good head on their shoulders in an uncontested election deserves my vote... Plus voting even in an odd special election seems like an important reinforcement of the democratic process. :)
