The Annual Town Election is May 3 and there are a number of currently elected officials on the ballot again this year, as well as several challengers for their seats.
Incumbent officials, Selectman Michael Powers and School Committee members Eric Crane and Jean McCartin are all facing challenges. In Powers’ case, his opponent — Roger Franklin — is also vying for the job of Town Moderator against Patricia Fraizer.
On the race in Precinct 7 for a vacant one-year seat, no, you’re not seeing double — challengers and incumbent Town Meeting Members for that same precinct are running for the vacant seat as well.
