Early Signs of Haverhill's City Election Take Shape in Advance of Nomination Papers

Next Monday is the first day Haverhill mayoral, City Council and School Committee candidates may take out nomination papers, but there are already signs of what those races will look like.

Haverhill Mayor Melinda E. Barrett plans to launch her campaign for re-election Wednesday, May 14, with a reception at Casa Blanca Cantina Haverhill in downtown Haverhill, while Ward 1 City Councilor Ralph T. Basiliere is getting a head start, having a fundraiser Thursday, May 1, from 6-8 p.m., at Maria’s Galleria Banquet Room, downtown.

Two incumbent, at-large School Committee members—Richard J. Rosa and Paul A. Magliocchetti—have already told WHAV they won’t seek re-election to those seats.

According to an end of 2024 campaign finance report filed with the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance, Barrett had a nest egg of $23,183.
