Town Election Today in Lynnfield
Two selectman's races today, plus write-in goes for school committee seat against two incumbents.
Voters in today's Lynnfield town election will have the uncommon task of casting ballots in two different selectmen's races. Tom Kennedy and Phil Crawford are running to complete the one year remaining on the late Selectman Al Merritt's term.
Select Board Chair Bob MacKendrick is running for re-election to a three-year term against Tom Terranova, who is making his second run for town office in as many years.
The four selectmen candidates participated in a forum two weeks ago in the LHS auditorium, with a follow-up event last Thursday night in the Old Meeting House focusing largely on issues surrounding the MarketStreet Lynnfield development.
The school committee race also recently became competitive with the addition of write-in candidate Elaine Gravante running against incumbents Dorothy Presser and Susie Cleary.
Polling is at Lynnfield High School Monday from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
