Dear fellow Hanoverians:
With approximately 5% of Hanover’s registered voters appearing at the polls
today, Elizabeth Corbo and John Geary were the victors in the one contested
race on the ballot for School Committee. Brian Barthelmes was re-elected
to the Board of Selectmen, and newcomer David Delaney will be joining him
on the Board.
Virginia Gilmartin won a write-in seat on the Housing Authority, and
re-elected Library Trustee Joan Thomas topped the ticket with the most
votes of all on the ballot. Others elected today included Frank Greco to
the Board of Assessors, Richard Farwell to the Board of Health, John
Benevides, Louis Truscello and Robert Heywood to the Board of Public Works,
and Doug Thomson as Moderator.
Of particular additional note is the fact that Hanover High School’s
student body turned out in record numbers at the Mock Election last
Thursday. Corbo and Geary won the two School Committee seats as in the
Regular Election, but the most encouraging news of the day was that fully
59% of the students voted in the Mock Election, as they far outdistanced
their parent’s turnout at the polls.
Congratulations to HHS ’15 student Andrew Nelson for running a very
successful Mock Election, and to his peers for their large voting turnout.
There is great hope for Hanover’s voters with those numbers!
