BARTLETT — The opening day of candidate filings for town and school offices begins today at Bartlett Town Hall, but there's already a race for the open selectmen’s seat after incumbent Jon Hebert announced he will not seek another three-year term.
Vicki Garland, family liaison for the Bartlett School District, who came within 12 votes of winning a seat against incumbent David A. Patch last year, said she plans to run again.
