NEWS ROUNDUP: Incumbents Seeking Re-Election For Dorchester Offices


Incumbents Seek Re-Election: Dorchester voters will see mostly familiar names on the ballot on Election Day, Nov. 8. All but one of the candidates on this year's ballot are current board members who are running for re-election. For the Dorchester Board of Education, the 2022 candidates are incumbents Carol Schnell and Matt Hansen. For the Dorchester Village Board, the candidates are Matt Shaw, who isn't currently on the board, and incumbent Sarah Wenz. We are hearing reports that more residents are interested in running in 2024, but more on that later.

DeWitt Manufacturing Plant Closing Again?: The future of the former Vise-Grip plant in DeWitt appears up in the air again just a few years after it reopened.
