There is just one contest shaping up, and at least one incumbent other than Chairman of Selectmen Patrick Rogers stepping down. At this writing, the following brave souls are running:

• Roger A. Clark (Housing Authority)
• Nancy J. Thomas (Housing Authority)
• Thomas E. Murphy (Gas and Electric Commission)
• Michael Solimini (Gas and Electric Commission)
• Steven Spataro (Board of Selectmen)
• Al Rullo (Board of Selectmen)
• Frederick E. Eayrs (Board of Selectmen)
• Allin J. Frawley (Board of Selectmen)
• Anthony Freitas (Assessors)
• Charles B. Shea (Assessors)
• Sara Adams Mycock Cederholm (School Committee)
• Michael A. Pilla Jr. (School Committee)
• William J. Ferdinand (Park Commission)
• Diane C. Stewart (Finance Committee)
• Donald E. Swarce (Planning Board)
• Leilani Dalpe (Planning Board)

The main attraction for voters will be the $2.4 million Proposition 2 1/2 override being proposed by the School Committee.
