SOMERSET It may be a sign that Somerset’s upcoming special election is going pack as much drama as possible between now and July 12.
The former selectman who just resigned her seat, which forced the special election, has created campaign signs for one of her most vocal opponents during her time in office, who is now running for that vacated seat. The signs appear to be mocking that candidate, but the former selectman says she wholeheartedly wants the candidate to win. The candidate herself called it “bizarre behavior.”
Welcome to the world of Somerset politics.
Holly McNamara, who abruptly resigned from the Somerset Board of Selectmen on April 14, has created campaign signs for Kathy Souza, the woman running to fill the vacated seat in the upcoming special election. The campaign signs feature a photo of Souza with the words: “Kathy Souza, Our Savior Selectman.”
SOMERSET Two potential candidates have thrown their hats in the ring to join the Somerset Board of Selectmen after a special election this July.
Earlier this month, then-Selectman Holly McNamara abruptly resigned from the board, leaving just two members: chair Lorne Lawless and newly elected member Allen Smith.
The special election to fill her seat will be on Monday, July 12, according to the town clerk s office. Nomination papers became available on April 26, and are due back on May 24. Potential candidates must collect signatures from at least 50 registered voters in Somerset to appear on the ballot.
As of Monday afternoon, two people had taken out papers, according to Town Clerk Dolores Bence.
