So far, William Edward ”Ted” Hugger, co-owner of the Cod Cove Inn, is the only candidate for Edgecomb selectman. Hugger, 61, moved to Edgecomb in 2013. He is a member of the town’s Economic Development and Comprehensive Plan Review committees.

Hugger began circulating nominating petitions after being recruited by the two current selectmen — Jack Sarmanian and Mike Smith — to succeed outgoing member Jessica Chubbuck, who is completing her second term. Chubbuck announced earlier this year she wouldn’t be seeking another term.

As selectman, Hugger wants “reasonable taxes,” and to invest in the community’s infrastructure and provide for the needy. At first, Hugger declined to run for selectman, but after a conversation with the two selectmen and a longer one with Jill Hugger, his wife, he reconsidered.

“If you live in a community then you need to contribute in some manner,” he said. “And I want to do what I can to help out.”

Both Ted and Jill Hugger are Michigan natives. They moved to Cape Elizabeth and spent 25 years there prior to purchasing The Cove Cod Inn. Ted Hugger spent 30 years in marketing and event management before buying the inn.

In other municipal elections, Claudia Coffin is seeking re-election as treasurer and town clerk, Deb Boucher as tax collector, and Scott Griffin for road commissioner. All three have already returned their nomination papers. All of those offices are for one-year terms.

Gretchen Burleigh-Johnson and Barry Hathorne are seeking re-election to the planning board. Burleigh-Johnson returned her nomination papers. Hathorne hasn’t. Both terms are for three years.

No one has taken out school committee nomination papers, according to Coffin. Chairman Sarah Clifford’s term expires in May.

Nomination papers are due Monday, April 4.
