Clyde Younger said he will not run for Town Council, leaving all the council races uncontested.
The deadline for candidates to enter the race for town offices is Thursday, July 28, and it appears the only contested race in the Novermber Town Election may be for School Committee. Veteran Watertown politician Clyde Younger appears to be out of the race for Town Council. He had pulled papers to run for either Council President or District D Councilor, but he told the Watertown Tab this week that he would not be running for the council. As of Tuesday at 11 a.m., Town Council President Mark Sideris is the only candidates for that position. At large councilors, who are elected by the entire town, have four incumbents, and three have had their papers certified by the Clerk’s office – Susan Falkoff, Anthony Palomba and John Donohue.

Former Town Council President may run for president or the District D seat.
The election is still five months away, but the campaign is beginning to heat up, with former Town Council President Clyde Younger taking out papers for a possible run for a council seat. Exactly which seat Younger will run for is not clear yet because he took out candidate papers from the Town Clerks Office for both Town Council President and for District D Councilor.

With John Lawn's District D seat open next year, who will replace the newly elected state representative?
The District D Town Council seat will be vacant after John Lawn's term is up at the end of the year. Lawn won the 10th Middlesex State Representative seat in the May 10 special election to replace Peter Koutoujian. His departure leaves a seat with no incumbent. One former member who lives in the West End, Paul Fahey, had been mulling over a run, but this week announced he would not enter the race. Fahey is working on a doctorate in public administration, which he said he needs to make his focus. Who will be running for the District D seat? Or, any of the seats – all of them are up for election in November. Here is Fahey's letter: Dear Editor: I am writing to let your readers from West Watertown know that I will not be a candidate for the …
