Richards Former Town of Newcastle Mayor Mayor Marie Hubbard is considering running once again for the mayoralty mayoralty position.

Prior to serving as mayor of Newcastle (now the municipality of Clarington), Marie Hubbard was a regional councillor for Bowman- ville. She lost her bid for re-election as mayor to Diane Hamre in 1991. Hubbard would be the third female female candidate to throw her hat into the ring as a mayoralty contender. Currently, Ann Cowman and Mayor Hamre have filed the preliminary preliminary paperwork which would allow them to proceed with their campaigns campaigns for the mayoralty. Ann Cowman, Cowman, however, has not made a final decision about whether she will seek the position. Among the remaining council, school board and electrical commission commission posts which are up for grabs in the November election, there are still very few candidates to come forward thus far. This year 1 , with an apparent lack of any issues for candidates to get their teeth into, there has not been a flurry of folks filling out paperwork at the Clarington clerk's office. During the 1991 election, there were many issues, including the possible development of a garbage dump, and the lack of a balance between between residential development and commercial development. So far, only six incumbents have indicated they will stand again for election. Besides Mayor Hamre, there are: Larry Hannah who is the Regional Councillor for Ward One, Carson Elliott who will be running as Regional Regional Councillor in Ward Two, Ann Dreslinski as Regional Councillor Councillor in Ward Three, David Scott as Local Councillor in Ward Three and Charmaine Dunn who is seeking re- election as a school trustee for the Northumberland and Clarington Public School Board. New faces looking for votes are: Gary Majesky for Ward One Local Council, David Wing and Pat Pingle for Ward Two Local Council, Anna Van Den Hoven for Clarington Hyr- do Commission and Thorsten Ko- seck for the Northumberland and Clarington Public School Board. During the last election, 45 local residents stood for public office. Many had declared before the Labor Day weekend.
