City councilors are unaffiliated per city charter. Unimportant anyway on a municipal level.

Have you tried googling them? I'm not being snarky but sometimes it's all we have.

I've already voted and had this struggle as well. I googled the candidates on my ballot and some came up with nothing more than a facebook post dated sometime last spring that says 'I'm running for x. Vote for me.' So I sadly ended up voting by party, which I hate to do, for those races that failed to give any info.

Sometimes though the google search will give newpaper articles about bad behavior and even convictions with jail time. Don't vote for those candidates.😏

Check the sample ballot for your district before voting so you know what you're getting into before going to vote. Check it here.

Vote411.org is also a good resource for checking the local ballot information.

Entering the address for city hall, I can see:

• A recorded candidate forum for Bangor City Council, plus a bunch of questionaire answers.
• At least one candidate each for School Committee, County Treasurer, and State Rep filled out the questionaire.

And doing some digging,

• There's a blurb about Mower (Treasurer candidate who didn't respond to 411) from an outdated article. Scroll through the bit about the guy they're replacing.
• Hassanien (School candidate who didn't respond to 411) has a pretty thorough questionaire on another website.

thanks for your response!

appreciate your asking .... google it - which I did, and like you found little to really go by. Also d/l'd the sample ballot , which at least shows party affiliations.

Thanks for your time!

thanks for that! I posted my ? here thinking some readers might have 1st-hand experience with some or any of the candidates who are running.
