BARTLETT — The 10-day filing period for town and school offices in non-SB 2 towns wrapped up Feb. 3. While many incumbents filed to run again, Bartlett and Jackson both will have new selectmen next month.
In Bartlett, where incumbent August D. “Gus” Vincent chose not to seek a second three-year term, three candidates — Tom Dewhurst, Ray Hodgkins and Ron Munro — filed for the seat.
