Newton Override Vote: Share Your View in Video

How will you vote on March 12? Submit your 1-minute video making your case to Newton voters: should they vote "yes" or "no"? Click the "Upload Video" button below or email YouTube video links to Melanie.Graham@patch.co

After four and a half months of discussion, debate and number-crunching, the Newton voters have just a week left to decide how they will vote on Mayor Setti Warren's $11.4 million proposed override.

While many may have their minds made up, there are some undecided voters out there who still need convincing -- and now is your chance to make your case before the March 12 special election.

Newton Patch is inviting you to upload a 1-minute video clip with your position/pitch on the override. This is an opportunity for residents to present their evidence and have their voices heard.

If you would like to upload a video, please remember the following:

  1. Keep it clean. Make sure you follow our Patch Terms of Use.
  2. Keep it on topic. Override-specific videos only.
  3. Keep it under 1 minute. We want that quick, elevator pitch.
  4. One video per user, please.

As you can see above, we have a couple of example videos showing support and opposition to the override. Feel free to take a look at these before uploading your own.
