Town Election Update: Three will Run for Two Selectmen Seats, Three Candidates for Two School Committee Seats

With two weeks to go before nomination papers are due, it is likely only two of the races on the ballot for May's town election will be contested.

The selectmen race will feature at least two candidates with a third likely. Chairman Olivier Kozolowski has returned his nomination papers and will be on the ballot along with challenger Karl Clemmey. Incumbent Doug Annio has pulled papers but has yet to return with the minimum of 50 signatures needed to appear on the ballot for a town election.

Clemmy has run for office in the past but has not been successful in seeking elected office.

In the race for the two school committee seats, incumbent Lisa M. Losiewicz will face a challenge from Lynn M. Cavicchi and Linda B. Fernando. All three candidates have pulled but have not returned nomination papers. Both seats are for a term of three years. Jean Miller has decided to retire from the board after serving for 18 years.

Incumbent Kevin J. Doyle remains the only person to pull papers for the housing authority's seat with a term of five years while no one has decided to run for the second seat which carries an unexpired five year term.

Moderator Robert Saquet will look to win reelection and remains unopposed.

The deadline to return nomination papers and the 50 required signatures to the town clerk's office at Town Hall is Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
