There was no crowd of people jamming into the Town Clerk’s office on Monday, but it was the day that marked the beginning of when candidates for local office can take out nomination papers.
At press time only incumbent Robert Driscoll had taken out papers for Town Council President. Jim Fabiano has taken out papers for a seat on the School Committee and incumbent Gillian Teixeira has taken out papers for Library Trustee.
There are several races to watch for the Nov. 7 election. Incumbents in their Ward races include Paul Varone, Precinct 1; Nicholas DelVento, Precinct 3 and Russ Sanford, Precinct 5.
