First, we would sincerely like to thank ALL the candidates who ran for office. It takes a lot of energy and dedication, and we have found that people run because they have a deep love for Salem and want to see it succeed. We look forward to their continued presence in local government.
Second, CONGRATULATIONS to the candidates who have made it to the general election!
The new slate of candidates:
Ward 3: Patti Morsillo and Bob Camire
Ward 6: Meg Riccardi and Jerry Ryan
At-Large: Arthur Sargent, Alice Merkl, George McCabe, Jeff Cohen, Ty Hapworth, Conrad Prosniewski, Domingo Dominguez, Elaine Milo
School Committee: Beth Anne Cornell, Mary Manning, Jim Fleming, Kristin Pangallo, Jen Brown, Donna Fritz
Thank you to, Jill Mulholland and Leo Higgins (Ward 3); Tyler Terry (Ward 6); Melissa Faulkner, Belle Steadman, and Gary Gill (at-Large); and Stephen Beauparlant (School Committee)!
PS - It looks like our voter turnout was 17% (subject to correction). If that’s correct, we did indeed do better than the last 3 municipal elections. Onward to November!
