Nomination Deadline Passes for Williamstown Elections

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Voters will have two contested races on the ballot when they go to the polls for town elections in May.
 
Tuesday was the deadline to submit nomination papers for 12 positions that will be up for election this spring.
 
The town will see a two-person race for one one-year term on the Select Board and a five-person field running for four three-year seats on the Milne Library Board of Trustees.
 
In all, three seats on the five-member Select Board will be determined in May.
 
Just two candidates submitted papers for the two full three-year seats available: Peter Beck and Matthew Neely.
 
Neely currently is serving a portion of a term that was vacated last year by Andrew Hogeland, who moved out of the area in the middle of his three-year term.
 
Beck is coming off a five-year term on the Planning Board, which he currently chairs.
