More candidates pull nomination papers for 2025 municipal election
Special to the Independent
City Clerk Sergio Cornelio’s office at City Hall continues to be a very busy place as candidates for office arrive daily to obtain their nomination papers for the 2025 municipal election.
The race for councilor-at-large is drawing the most attention with seven candidates having pulled their nomination papers for the five at-large seats.
Four of the five incumbents, Councillors-at-Large Katy L. Rogers (the lone candidate to have had her nomination papers certified as of Monday), Michael K. Marchese, John F. Hanlon, and Stephanie V. Smith have pulled their nomination papers in quest of re-election to the Council. Ward 1 Councilor Wayne A. Matewsky, former Ward 3 Councilor Darren Costa, and Matthew L. Costello, a former Everett High School football great who went on to play football at Princeton, have also pulled their nomination papers.
Councilor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin is the lone incumbent who hadn’t pulled her nomination papers as of Monday.
Costa has also pulled nomination papers for school committee-at-large as he considers in which of the citywide elections he will compete.
