There is no longer a race for a seat on the board of assessors for the May 3 town election following Carlton Alan Chambers’ recent withdrawal. Sara Abbott is now running unopposed. Incumbent Christine Roberts isn’t running for reelection.
This leaves one race for planning board, between Crystal Kelly and Thomas Patch. Incumbent Rita DaSilva is not running for another term.
Incumbents Alyson Baron Anderson and Matthew J. Cosman and John Mooney are running for the three available school committee seats. Incumbent Nes Correnti is not running for reelection.
Current select board chair Joseph Fisher is the sole candidate for sewer commission, since Philip DeCola did not return his nomination papers. Incumbent Kirk Shilts isn’t running for reelection.
Julie Moran Strehle is running unopposed for select board.
Other candidates who are running unopposed are Town Moderator Michael Puzo; board of health member Rosemary Byrne; municipal light board member Michael Reive; Timothy Patrick Sullivan for housing authority; and recreation commissioner Adrienne Ramsey.
Housing authority member Megan Buhr isn’t running for reelection.
