SHREWSBURY – John Samia announced Jan. 28 that he will not run for re-election to the Select Board.

The board’s current chair, Samia was elected to the Select Board in 2019 and won re-election in 2022. Samia also served three terms on the School Committee and has been a Town Meeting member for over 17 years. He’s a Shrewsbury High School graduate and earned a law degree from Boston University.

“It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve on the Select Board for almost two terms now, and the Shrewsbury School Committee for three terms before that. It’s just the right time to step off. I’ve been doing this a while, so I’ll enjoy the time with my family and other endeavors,” Samia said.

“I’d like to thank the Shrewsbury residents for electing me to both the Select Board and the Shrewsbury School Committee. They’re very important roles in the community, so I really appreciate the trust and confidence,” he continued.

Samia’s Select Board term expires in May 2025. His successor will be elected May 6, 2025.
