PEMBROKE - April 27, 2026 - Voters in Pembroke face a pivotal choice this May as four candidates for the Select Board outlined starkly different visions for the town’s leadership. In a forum marked by debates over a controversial battery storage project, the looming vocational school vote, and the performance of the Town Manager, incumbent Tracy Marino defended her record of steady leadership while challengers Steve Ciciotti, Chris Perry, and Tara Gendreau-Lenaghan called for varying degrees of cultural and procedural reform within Town Hall.
