A total of 15 candidates met the final deadline to be placed on the May 20 annual town election ballot, but there are only three contested offices – municipal light board, planning board, and library trustee.

Despite much attention in recent months being paid to the Hull Redevelopment Authority’s plans for its 13-acre property, no candidates emerged to challenge HRA Chair Dennis Zaia for another five-year term. Similarly, select board Chair Greg Grey will coast to another three-year term, as he is unopposed for re-election.

There are 11 positions are available. The contested races are a three-year term on the light board held by incumbent Stephanie Landry, who is being challenged by D.J. Simon and Mark L. Kohn; a five-year term on the planning board now held by Stephen White, who is not seeking re-election, which is being contested by Edwin Parsons and Cindy Borges; and a one-year slot on the library trustees that is being sought by Corinne T. Fitz-Marquez and Alice Sloan.

Two additional library trustee seats are uncontested; James Curtis Miller and Kathleen McKenna are the candidates who will fill those positions. Current school committee member Kyle Conley is unopposed for re-election, as are Michael Sampson for a five-year term on the housing authority and Donna Sullivan and J. Michael Waldner for three-year positions on the board of assessors.
