Five Running For Selectman in Adams
ADAMS, Mass. — The race for the Board of Selectmen is on with five candidates vying for two seats this May.
Up for election is a three-year term currently held by John Duval and a second three-year term that was vacated with the resignation of Arthur "Skip" Harrington last year.
James Bush, Heather Marie Cachat, Wayne Piaggi and Donald Sommer will be on the ballot this year.
The two highest vote-getters will win the seats and at least one of the challengers will be seated. However, it won't necessarily be a new face as Sommer has previously served on the board. He served one-term but failed to win re-election in 2010 and 2013.
There are no other races on the ballot this year and although there are some new faces running, they are running unopposed.
Mike Mucci Jr. will run for the Adams-Cheshire Regional School District unopposed and Lisa Gazaille will run for the Planning Board unopposed.
There are three open seats on the Parks Commission. Incumbent James Fassell will run for re-election and newcomers Cynthia Bird and Jacob Levesque will run for the remaining two seats.
Erica Girgenti will run for the Housing Authority unopposed and Jacob Levesque will run for the redevelopment authority unopposed.
All other positions will be filled by incumbents running unopposed.
Candidates have until April 4 to withdraw and the election is May 7.
