WAKEFIELD — While time will tell, there is now a race for Town Council.
Christopher J. Carino expressed an interest in running for one of two seats up for election on the council this April. He took out nomination papers today, less than a week before the deadline to do so.
Carino, of Central Street, for the time being joins incumbents Mehreen N. Butt and Edward F. Dombroski Jr. in the Town Council election field. Office hopefuls have until 5 p.m. on Friday, March 3, to take out nomination papers for any of the 14 elected positions to be decided at the April 25 Town Election.
In addition to Carino, Charles Street’s Peter S. Davis took out nomination papers today for one of two three-year seat on the School Committee. Incumbent Kevin Piskadlo is the other candidate at the moment.
