Four vie for two council seats
Two Gorham town councilors are seeking re-election in November in a four-way race for two available seats, while two School Committee members will be unchallenged on the ballot, according to Deputy Town Clerk Laurie Nordfors.
In the Town Council race, incumbents Sherrie Benner and Shonn Moulton will be challenged by Marla Stelk, a member of the Gorham Historic Preservation Committee, and Muhammad Kahn, a June graduate of Gorham High School.
For the School Committee, incumbents Darryl Wright and Timothy Burns are running unopposed for three-year terms. No one returned nomination papers for a one-year term to fill the vacancy left by John Doyle, who has resigned because he’s moving.
The municipal election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 3.
