Longtime Select Board member not running again, voters to decide three contested races

There will be three contested races — for Select Board, Recreation and Parks Commission and Housing Authority — in the town’s June 11 election.

For the first time since 2005, Select Board member Jim Nye will not be on the ballot. He confirmed to the Current that he will not seek reelection.

Select Board incumbents Erin Noonan, Moses Grader, Alexa Singer and Bret Murray will face challengers Dan Albert and Daniel Fox for five available seats.

At the Rec & Parks Commission, incumbents Linda Rice Collins, Shelly Bedrossian, Rossana Ferrante, Karin Ernst and Matthew Martin will compete with Richard W. Jordan for the five seats.

Kristin DuBay Horton and Laura Ruth Gallant will face off for a seat on the Marblehead Housing Authority.

The town election will see 23 seats across 12 boards, commissions and committees up for grabs. Candidates were required to submit a written request and obtain 50 signatures from registered Marblehead voters.

David E. Harris pulled papers for the Select Board, but decided not to run. John G. DiPiano pulled papers for the School Committee but did not return signatures.

Uncontested races include the following:

— Town Moderator: Incumbent Jack Attridge

— Cemetery Commission: Incumbent Janet Merrill

— School Committee: Incumbent Alfred Williams

— Library Board of Trustees: Incumbents David F. Ross Jr. and John G. Williams

— Board of Health: Dr. Thomas A. Massaro (Incumbent Joanne Miller is not running again.)

— Planning Board: Incumbents Andrew Christensen and Barton Hyte
