HADLEY — A three-way race for two seats on the Select Board is the lone contest anticipated at the May 21 town election.
Amy Parsons, who currently chairs the board, is running for a second three-year term and will face former board member David J. Fill II, who currently chairs the Finance Committee, and Kyle Patrick Dragon, a regional animal control officer.
A mix of incumbents and newcomers are seeking the other available town positions, with no candidates for some slots.
Incumbents Humera Fasihuddin and Paul Phifer are running for the two three-year seats on the School Committee, and Mark T. Dunn is running for a second five-year term on the Planning Board.
Other incumbents seeking reelection include Jeffrey Mish for a three-year position on the Board of Assessors and Margaret Mastrangelo for a three-year term on the Board of Health.
Newcomers running for elective office include John J. Czajkowski Jr., who is seeking election as a library trustee after being appointed to fill a vacancy, and Robert Cross for a three-year seat on the Park Commission.
Maureen Devine, elector under the Oliver Smith Will, will have to run a write-in campaign after failing to submit nomination forms with enough signatures for the one-year post.
No one is running for a three-year and a two-year position as library trustees, or for five- and one-year terms on the Hadley Housing Authority.
