Five New Bedford residents have committed to running for the Ward 5 New Bedford City Council seat vacated by Kerry Winterson. In February, Winterson cited his wife’s health and personal reasons for not seeking re-election.
The five candidates are David Sullivan, Kate Towers, Nelson Macedo, Paul Chasse and Scott Lima.
Ward 5 contains Buttonwood Park and St. Luke’s hospital. See map below.
The preliminary election will be held on October 3rd and the top two vote getters move on to the November 7th final election.
