With the cancellation of Town Caucus this year, all candidates for election must collect the signatures of 25 voters registered in Harvard—each on a separate nomination form—and submit them to Town Clerk Marlene Kenney by May 14. Kenney recommends that a candidate get more than 25 signatures in case some cannot be certified. For nomination forms and instructions on how to use them, go to https://bit.ly/2Kucr4S.
Voters will choose candidates to fill the seats of eight officeholders on four town boards whose terms are set to expire May 31. They are Select Board members Kara Minar and Rich Maiore; School Committee members John Ruark and SusanMary Redinger; Harvard Public Library trustees Mary Coolidge and Charles Redinger; and Warner Free Lectures trustees Lisa Foley, the current chair, and Shannon Molloy. The term of office for all eight positions is three years.
Incumbents Maiore, Minar, SusanMary Redinger, and Coolidge have said they plan to run for reelection. Charles Redinger, Ruark, Foley, and Molloy say they will not.
