On Saturday, June 4, there will be 13 seats across 10 boards and committees up for grabs at Cohasset’s Annual Town Election.
As has been a theme in recent years in Cohasset, however, many of those seats will be run for by uncontested candidates.
Residents will see competition on their ballots in just two races: one for the open seat on the Select Board, and one between four candidates vying for three seats on the Paul Pratt Memorial Library Board of Trustees.
The higher profile of the two races will feature incumbent Selectman Paul Schubert running against challenger Jean Healey-Dippold to retain his seat on the Board.

Already facing a potential increase to their water rates, Cohasset residents’ wallets may be in for another hit in 2022.
An article on the warrant for the upcoming Annual Town Meeting on May 24 is proposing an increase to the town’s current sewer rates.
The increase will be the first since 2017, but will come at no small cost, with a proposed jump of 10%.
After staving off increases for four years, Sewer Commission Chairman Bill McGowan said his board was left with no other option.
“There are a lot of issues that we are dealing with that are basically forcing us into a rate increase,” said McGowan.
