HUDSON – Hudson’s municipal ballot is beginning to take shape ahead of elections later this year.
Though candidates still have time to return papers, several have already secured their spots on the ballot, while still more are in the process of doing so, according to filings shared by the Town Clerk’s office.
Potential race for Select Board
Select Board members Fred Lucy and James Quinn are both up for re-election this year.
Quinn pulled papers back on Feb. 18, but had not filed them as of March 4. Lucy had not pulled papers.
Outside of incumbents, Arthur Redding pulled papers on Jan. 25, though he had also not returned them as of March 4.
The lone candidate to secure a spot on the ballot, to date, was Judy Congdon, who pulled papers on Jan. 24 and returned them early last month.
Congdon previously announced her campaign in a Facebook post in January.
