Several Races in Place for May Election

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.
