New Wellesley School Committee, Natural Resources Commission candidates pull papers

With the deadline for pulling papers for Wellesley town-wide election seats just a week away, a couple more candidates have recently made their intentions known.

To date, potential candidates have pulled papers for all offices other than Board of Health, which has one three-year term available. Not all candidates have returned papers for certification. The election is scheduled for March 3.

Ayla Lari has pulled papers to become a candidate for School Committee, which has two open seats for the March 3 town election. Michael Cave previously declared his intent to run.

The terms for Sharon Clarke and Christina Horner expire in March.

Joe Schott, who has been active as a resident and neighbor in town discussions involving proposals at Morses Pond, has pulled papers to become a candidate for the Natural Resources Commission, which has two three-year terms up for grabs. Melinda Arias-Voci earlier pulled papers.

Terms for NRC members Michael D’Ortenzio and Jay McHale expire in March.

Nomination papers are available at the Town Clerk’s Office. Papers for town-wide offices must be pulled by Jan. 9 and Town Meeting member papers must be pulled by Jan. 23. More information on requirements can be found on the town website.
