The deadline for candidates to submit nomination papers to the elections office for the city election was last Friday. And it looks like the race for mayor will be the only item on the ballot for the September 17 preliminary election.
Four candidates for mayor, incumbent Jasiel Correia and challengers Paul Coogan, Erica Scott-Pacheco and Angel L. Pantoja have submitted nomination papers. Mr. Coogan and Ms. Scott-Pacheco have qualified for the ballot. Mayor Correia will likely qualify to ensure a preliminary election.
In the race for city council, a minimum of 19 candidates is needed to guarantee a preliminary. Only 17 candidates returned nomination papers by the deadline:
Incumbents
- Shawn Cadime
- Joseph Camara
- Steven Camara
- Brad Kilby
- Pam Laliberte Lebeau
- Leo Pelletier
- Cliff Ponte
Challengers
- Zachary Borges
- Timothy Cole
- Collin Dias
- Michelle Dionne
- Trott Lee
- Marc Nathaniel Mollicone
- Christopher Peckham
- Linda Pereira
- Matthew Springer

Incumbents Stephen Long and Derek Viveiros chose not to run for re-election. In the school committee race, only eight candidates filed nomination papers. 13 were needed to necessitate a preliminary election:
Incumbents
- Kevin Aguiar
- Mark Costa
- Joshua Hetzler
- Thomas Khoury
Challengers
