Patrolman Guy Cooper.
Haverhill Patrolman Guy Cooper has formed a committee as a first step toward seeking the mayor’s job during this fall’s local elections.
The Cooper Committee was formed last Wednesday, according to records on file with the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance. Cooper would become the second officer in recent years to seek the corner office in City Hall. In 2019, Patrolman Daniel Trocki unsuccessfully challenged Mayor James J. Fiorentini. Trocki earned a respectable 4,785 votes to Fiorentini’s 6,503, and the mayor went on to win an unprecedented ninth term.
The mayor told WHAV he has not decided whether to re-election this year. He said he doesn’t expect to make any announcements until April or May.
