Dalton Looking for People to Fill Open Seats in Town ElectionBy Sabrina Damms, iBerkshires Staff 07:52AM / Wednesday, April 20, 2022 | |
DALTON, Mass. — The town elections will be held on Monday, May 9, from 11 to 7 at the Community Recreation Association.
But there won't be any races this year.
Those running are all up for re-election and are running unopposed. The town, like many in the Berkshires, has been having a difficult time to find volunteers to run.
Incumbents Joseph Diver and Marc E. Strout are running for three-year seats on the Select Board. Strout was first elected in 2016 and Diver in 2019.
The Dalton Housing Authority has two seats but the only person running is Dorin Middlebrook, the current vice chair.
The Planning Board has three seats open but only has two people running: Andrew G. Perenick is running for the three-year seat and Jarred Mongeon for the one-year seat.
Running uncontested for cemetery trustee is Thomas Towne.
Running for the four seats as library trustees are Mary Gingras, Thomas Condron, Anne M. Ronayne, and Leonardo Quiles.
Running for the four seats on the Finance Committee are incumbents William A. Drosehn III, Michael Jerome, Jeffrey S. Noble and Thomas Irwin.
The last day to register to vote in the town election is April 12. The town will host a baby town meeting on Monday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. to explain the warrant; town meeting will be on Monday, May 2, at 7 p.m. Both will be held at Wahconah Regional High School.
