Wilmington Municipal election 2013

Wilmington Voters Head To The Polls To Choose Selectmen, School Committee

Voters will also be casting ballots in the primary for U.S. Senate. Here is all the information you need before casting your vote.

(Editor's Note: Copies of the sample ballots for the Municipal election and the Senate Primaries have now been attached to this story.) The voting process will be a bit different for Wilmington residents who head to the polls on Tuesday. Rather than just receiving one ballot on which to make their selections, they can expect to take two separate ballots into the voting booth. While the Board of Selectmen opted to hold the municipal election on the same day as the Special Senate Primary, both are distinct, individual elections. So voters will be handed a Municipal Ballot and will also take either a Democratic or Republican Senate Primary Ballot. With just two contested races, the Municipal Ballot will look something like this:   Board of …

Miceli, Sears Each Feels 'Un-Endorsement' By Sun Was Unwarranted

Sun declined to endorse a candidate for the 19th Middlesex District due to the negative tone of the race.

The Lowell Sun newspaper may have finally found something that state Rep. Jim Micelli and Tewksbury Selectman Doug Sears agree on. The rivals in the race for the seat from the 19th Middlesex District both feel that the Sun's decision not to endorse a candidate in the race was unwarranted. In announcing their endorsements in the State Legislative races earlier this week, the Sun took the unusual step of refusing to endorse either Miceli, the 18-term incumbent from Wilmington, or his Republican challenger Sears. The paper's editorial board explained their decision like this: "It's rare that we take this stance but The Sun chooses not to endorse either candidate. This race has been replete with gutter personal politics and bereft of any ideas…

Sears Endorsed By Citizens For Limited Taxation

Republican is challenging incumbent state Rep. Jim Micelli in 19th Middlesex District.

(Editor's note: The following information was submitted by the candidate Doug Sears.) Last week, Republican candidate for State Representative Doug Sears announced his endorsement by Citizens for Limited Taxation. Citizens for Limited Taxation (CLT), based in Marblehead, is a group focused on taxpayer issues and legislative reform. “I am thrilled to have the endorsement of Citizens for Limited Taxation. CLT works to inform voters about legislators who will stand up for the taxpayers and keep government spending in line. These are cornerstones for my campaign to rein in outrageous state spending and reduce the income and sales tax rates.” Sears began, “Rep. Miceli received a 56% failing grade from the 2011-2012 CLT legislative ratings. We …

Sears, Miceli To Debate Just Once Before Election

Incumbent state representative declines invitations from local media outlets for two additional debates.

Republican Doug Sears says he is anxious to debate state Rep. Jim Miceli, D-Wilmington, as many times as possible in the days leading up to the Nov. 6 Election. Miceli has made clear he will only agree to one debate. That one debate will take place on Oct. 24 in the Tewksbury Memorial High School Auditorium. The event will be sponsored by the Lowell Sun and will feature a media panel including representatives from Patch and the Town Crier. Tewksbury Patch and Wilmington Patch had invited Sears and Miceli to participate in a one-on-one debate at Tewksbury Town Hall on Oct. 11. Similarly, the Town Crier had teamed with the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce and Wilmington Public Access Television for a debate in Wilmington. In both cases Sears …

State Rep. Hopeful Sears Weighs in On Wilmington Issues

Doug Sears said he the high school project is priority No. 1 while issues with public comments and the Middlesex Ave./Glen Road intersection are also on his radar.

State Representative Jim Miceli weighed in on the high school appeals process this summer. Now, his opponent in the upcoming election is offering his thoughts on the topic and other issues facing Wilmington. Tewksbury selectman Doug Sears said the high school project is the No. 1 concern that he hears while talking to residents on the campaign trail. Sears said he understands why some parents in town may be frustrated by the process. “If I were a parent in the Wilmington schools and my child would be on the cusp of going to a brand new school, all I have to do is look at the brand new school in Tewksbury to visualize how excited I would be,” said Sears. “If there were folks who are trying to slow it down for reasons that may be less than …
