After five terms as selectman in Walpole, Charles D. “Chick” Miller is retiring in March and making way for a new selectman. As of Thursday, however, no candidate had stepped forward to file for election to his selectman slot.
Ernie Vose, the two-term town moderator, on the other hand, has announced that he is seeking another two-year term.
One-year terms expire for the town treasurer, Myra Mansouri, and the North Walpole Tax Collector, Teresa Kissell. Both have announced that they intend to run again.
Supervisor of the Checklist, Cynthia Westover, ends her six-year term, and she intends to seek another term.
Two Walpole Planning board members, David DeCoste and Henry Fletcher, are reaching the end of their three-year terms, and each intends to seek another term.
Zoning Board of Adjustment terms for Jan Galloway-Leclerc (three-year term) and Lucy Weber (one-year remaining) are ending. Galloway-Leclerc has announced that, after beginning as an alternate on the board, she has served “three or four three-year terms” and does not intend to run for another one. David Calhoun is running for the remaining one year on Weber’s term.
Dan Schwenk’s term as Trustee of Trust Funds is ending, and he has announced that he intends to seek another three-year term.
