ADAMS, Mass. — No actual races will be on the ballot this year with all candidates running unopposed.

 

For the most part, only incumbents have returned papers this March, and there will be no challenges to current seatholders.

 

Selectwoman Christine Hoyt, Moderator Myra Wilk, Assessor George Haddad, Board of Health member David Rhoads, Library Trustee Linda Rhoads, Parks Commissioner Jacob Schutz, Planning Board Member Michelle Picard, Cemetery Commissioner Fredrick Hobart, and  Housing Authority Member Kelly Rice all have returned papers.

 

On the school side Daniel Maloney, Jr. will return to the Northern Berkshire Regional Vocational School District Committee. Adam Emerson will return to the Hoosac Valley Regional School District Committee, but he is a Cheshire representative. 

 

There are two newcomers who will run unopposed: Andrew Lukasz Przystanski has pulled papers for the Hoosac Valley Regional School Committee and Ann Bartlett will take a Housing Authority seat.  

 

There are a few seats that will be left unfilled. There is an open Library Trustee seat, a Parks Commission seat, a Housing Authority seat, and a Redevelopment Authority sea.

 

The annual town election is on May 1 at the Memorial Building located on 30 Columbia St. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
