McCarthy, Nesoff returned to select board; Hedrick, Littlefield, and Kilroe win school committee seats
/A total of 1,402 voters participated in Monday’s annual town election, re-electing select board members Brian McCarthy and Irwin Nesoff and turning out one incumbent, housing authority member Kathleen Bogdan.
McCarthy received 881 votes and Nesoff finished with 782, topping challenger Christopher Niland, who earned 475 votes, according to results released Monday night by Town Clerk Lori West shortly after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Turnout was about 15% of Hull’s total 9,263 registered voters.
Lisa Boretti defeated Kathleen Bogdan, 660 votes to 504, in the race for a five-year seat on the Hull Housing Authority. Nichole Londergan was unopposed for a three-year seat.
On the school committee, incumbent Liliana Hedrick and Brendan Kilroe won three-year terms, with 828 and 742 votes, respectively as former school committee member Ernest Minelli IV fell short in a bid to return to the board with 513 votes. Courtney Littlefield, who was appointed last year after Minelli resigned for personal reasons, retained her seat over Linda Hetue in the contest for a one-year term, 938 votes to 222.
The planning board has two new members, as Abby Klieman defeated Edwin Parsons for a five-year term (771 to 448) and Chandelle Schulte was unopposed for a three-year seat.
Other races were unopposed. Incumbents winning new terms were Town Moderator George Boylen, Town Clerk Lori West, assessor Richard Morris, light commissioners Thomas Burns and Daniel Ciccariello, and library trustee Alice Sloan. DJ Simon won the second open seat on the library board.
A school committee meeting to reorganize after the election that was scheduled for Tuesday night was canceled. The housing authority will meet on Tuesday, May 27 at 1:30 p.m. over Zoom, and the select board meets again on Wednesday, May 28 at 7 p.m. at town hall.
