Just a few hours after the news that Permanent Building Committee chairman Pat Maloney took out nomination papers in the crowded race for the two seats on the Board of Selectmen, candidate Louis Marino announced he will not finalize his nomination on the In-Town Report Facebook Page.

It looks like it will be a crowded field in Chelmsford's April 2 Town Election.
The race for Matt Hanson's seat on the Board of Selectmen is now at five candidates thanks to the addition of Permanent Building Committee member Patrick Maloney, who pulled papers this morning in an alert issued by the In-Town Report Facebook Page. Maloney joins Hanson, Robert Joyce, Louis Marino and Roland Van Liew. Currently, none of the candidates in the Selectmen's race has returned the 50 signatures from registered voters needed to be on the ballot, or in any other race with the exception of Jeff Apostolakes, who is running for the Planning Board. More information on the current slate of candidates and how to run is available on the Town Clerk's page on the town website.
