Two candidates run for mayor in upcoming Waltham city elections
Waltham residents will vote next Tuesday for the next Mayor of Waltham, nine ward councilors, six councilors at large and three members to sit on the school committee.
Mayor Jeannette A. McCarthy—running for a third term—faces off against Andrew Wirth, a 22 year-old Mass. Bay Community College Student. McCarthy has also served two years as a councilor at large and six years on the Waltham School Committee, according to the Waltham city website.
Wirth told the Waltham News Tribune in August that he would like to focus on improving the roads and sidewalks. McCarthy wrote to the Waltham Patch that she has "two major projects" that she would like to pursue. They are to properly plan for the use of "the 200-acre state-owned Fernald School property off Trapelo Road and the privately owned 119-acre former Polaroid property off Main Street," according to the Patch.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
