Bouchard Vies for Re-Election in Concord's Ward 9

The latest Concord City Council filings are in and now, at least two Wards will have competitive races in November.

Incumbent Ward 9 City Councilor Candace Bouchard, as expected, filed to run for re-election. She’ll face challenger Lenny O’Keefe, who filed earlier this week.

Also filing to run for the open Ward 3 council seat was Chris Pannapacker, a paralegal at The Law Offices of Martin & Hipple, PLLC, in Concord, who unsuccessfully challenged Jane Bradstreet for the Merrimack County Register of Probate seat as a Democrat last year.

“I’m running for city councilor in Ward 3 because I want to live in a community where my and my neighbors’ needs are served with efficiency, compassion, and transparency,” he said in an email. “From now until the election, I will knock on as many doors in Ward 3 as I can. I will always work to understand the needs and concerns of my neighbors. As a property taxpayer in Ward 3, I promise always to listen to your concerns.”

Pannapacker will face off against Jennifer Kretovic, who filed to run for the seat earlier this week.
