Two more prospective candidates filed their intention (“pulled papers”) to run for local office in the March 31 Annual Town Election: Elizabeth Sues for Sudbury School Committee and John Ryan, Jr. for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee.
With two prospective candidates running for one seat on the Sudbury School Committee, and three prospective candidates running for two seats on the Lincoln-Sudbury committee, these races could be contested if all candidates return their nomination papers by the deadline and the signatures on those papers are certified by the Town Clerk.
Ryan, who is vice-chair of the Sudbury Housing Trust, has previously served as vice-chair of the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee and chair of the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School Building Committee, the Council on Aging, and the Fairbank Community Center Study Task Force. He has also served on the Finance Committee and the Sudbury Budget Review Task Force.
This will be Sues’ first run for office in Sudbury.
There are 13 open positions on this year’s Annual Town Election ballot. Any Sudbury registered voter may run for office. Prospective candidates do not need permission from a board or committee to run.
