Braintree Town Councilor Donna Connors Not Seeking Re-Election

BRAINTREE, MA — District 3 Town Councilor Donna Connors will not seek re-election in Braintree's November town election.

Connors was first elected to the Braintree Town Council in 2019. She announced her decision not to run for a second term in a Facebook post on Sunday.

"My current role for work is challenging, and I will not be able to dedicate the time that it takes to support the residents for a second term," Connors said in her post. "I am truly appreciative of all the help I have along the way and support I have been able to provide to the district. I will finish out my term working to ensure the residents are supported and continue to commit myself to making positive changes within the town."

Who is running for Town Council?

Nomination papers for the Nov. 2 town election aren't available until July 26, but so far three town councilors signaled their intention to run again.
