Selectman Greg Grey, 54, of Fair Street, is running for reelection, after first winning the seat in 2018 by beating incumbent Christopher Mitchell, 682 to 381.
Grey said he got involved in town politics 15 years ago, once his children got older and he was no longer involved in youth sports and he had a little more time. I have a strong desire in me to do good for the community, and still press forward with positive change, he said.
Kevin Beck, 54, of F Street, is challenging Grey for the seat in the May election. He said he spent most of his childhood in Hull and came back in 2019, after retiring from the Navy, followed by a stint working for Boeing.
Rare peregrine falcon spotted on the South Shore in Hull
HULL A rare peregrine falcon was spotted hunting a pigeon along Nantasket Avenue in Hull Thursday. The peregrine was previously considered an endangered species, but through conservation efforts has been reclassified as a species of special concern.
In the 1950s, the number of falcons in the peregrine species had declined dramatically in the east due to pesticides such as DDT, but as Americans stopped using the harmful pesticide and conservationists worked to breed the falcons in captivity, the birds have come back in large numbers. Now we have more peregrines in Massachusetts than we probably ever did historically, Norman Smith, former director of Mass Audubon s Blue Hills Trailside Museum, said. Even in downtown Boston last year there were nine nesting pairs.
