Dennis J. Ahern has suspended his campaign for reelection as a trustee of the Bedford Free Public Library. Citing health concerns in a message to The Bedford Citizen, Ahern expressed confidence that the Town will be well-served by the two remaining candidates, incumbent Michael Pulizzi and newcomer Fahad Alden.
Because the official withdrawal date for candidates was February 10, Ahern’s name will remain on the March 13 ballot, according to Town Clerk Bridget Rodrigue.
Candidates Pulizzi and Alden participated in Sunday’s League of Women Voters forum without Ahern; the video is available via Bedford TV, https://youtu.be/ofdYRAnOSMI at 03:05:00
