4 Candidates Take Out Nomination Papers For Foxborough Election

FOXBOROUGH, MA — With town elections three months away, candidates have already began taking out nomination papers, signaling they will run for office in the May 3 election.

So far, one candidate for Board of Selectmen has taken out nomination papers to run, Robert Palie. Both Selectmen members Christopher Mitchel and Leah Gibson's terms expire in 2021, and though neither have taken out nomination papers as of Feb. 3, there's still plenty of time for the candidates to signal their intent to run for another three-year term.

To make May's ballot, candidates must return nomination papers signed by at least 50 registered Foxborough voters by 5 p.m., March 15.
