Forrest Carver, Stuart Smith running for open Edgecomb selectman’s seat
Two candidates are running for an Edgecomb selectboard seat. Former Selectman Stuart Smith and Forrest Carver are vying for a three-year term this May. Incumbent Lyndyn Norgang won a special election in April 2023 to serve the final two years of Ted Hugger's unexpired term. Her term expires in May, and Norgang decided not to seek another term.
All the other municipal elections on the May 17 referendum ballot are uncontested. John Allen is running for an open school committee seat. Incumbent Jesse White was appointed in May 2024 to fill George Chase's unexpired term. Chase won election to the selectboard and resigned his school committee seat. The term expires in May, and White opted not to run for re-election.
Philip Haas is running for re-election to the planning board. There is no other candidate for the other open planning board seat. All three offices are for three-year terms.
Four incumbents are running for one-year terms for town clerk, treasurer, tax collector and road commissioner. Claudia Coffin is seeking another term as treasurer and town clerk. Rebecca Brewer is seeking re-election as tax collector. Scott Griffin is seeking re-election as road commissioner.
The municipal referendum election is from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 17 in the town hall.
