Candidate Profile Videos

LCTV contacted all candidates running for elected office with an offer to record a video talking directly to Lynn voters. This election, the incumbent Mayor Jared Nicholson is running unopposed. The individual video is linked in the candidate’s bio above as well.

Candidate Profiles will be airing on our Government Channel (Comcast: 22 / Verizon: 37) every day at 9AM & 9PM until September 2. They will air in groupings of candidates in order of Mayor, Councilor At-Large, Ward Councilor, & School Committee. If a city meeting that we broadcast live is scheduled, that meeting will play instead of these videos during the allotted time.

LCTV reached out to all candidates during this election cycle multiple times. If a candidate does not appear it means that they either missed the deadline or declined to participate.
