Milford Election Ballot Full

MILFORD, MA- The deadline to hand in nomination papers passed on Tuesday and candidates are stacked on a few town boards and committees, giving voters plenty of options.

Some notable races include seats for the Board of Selectmen, School Committee, Board of Library Trustees, constable and Trustees of Vernon Grove.

Incumbent and Chairman Michael Walsh will be defending his seat on the Board of Selectmen against Ami Clifford. Clifford is a local attorney and was a Town Meeting member in Precinct 1. Walsh was elected to the Board of Selectmen in 2017 to fill the two years left from Brian Murray's term- Murray left after he was elected state representative.

With just two seats open for School Committee the race is sure to heat up with six candidates running. Only incumbent James Ligor will be defending his seat, incumbent Joseph Morais did not pull papers. Competing for a seat are challengers Justin John Dulak, John Erickson, Tarik Miranda, R.J. Sheedy and Michael Visconti Jr.

The two open seats for Board of Library Trustees are seeing all new faces as the two incumbents, John P. Byrnes and Rory D'Alessandro, didn't pull nomination papers. That leaves the race up to Stephanie Abisla, Margaret Myatt and Scott Vecchiolla. Another candidate, David Probert, pulled nomination papers but never returned them.

The five incumbents for constable, Joseph Arcudi, Mark Calzolaio, Nadine Ladeau, Raymond Pagucci Jr. and Mark Tosti, returned papers to defend their seats against one challenger, Robert Sheedy. The only other challenger, Dana Gelias, pulled papers but did not return them.

The race for Trustees of Vernon Grove could be another close call with three candidates competing for two seats. Incumbents Marilyn Lovell and Scott Vecchiolla will defend their seats against challenger Kristen Gardner.

The town election will be held on April 2.
