Four candidates, including a sitting city councilor, were the first to take out nomination papers for elected Haverhill office when papers became available Monday.
Former Haverhill City Councilor Kenneth Quimby, who announced for Council right after local elections two years ago, was the first to take out papers from City Clerk Linda L. Koutoulas’ office. Quimby, of 48 Goodale St., was joined by current City Council President Melinda E. Barrett, 12 Salem St., who is seeking re-election; former candidate Fred Simmons, 420 Amesbury Road, who is trying again; and newcomer Tomas Michel, 333 Washington St., who is also seeking a City Council spot.
