Scotts Mills council incumbents hoping to continue to serve

All current Scotts Mills City Council members are hoping to return for new terms next year, though Mayor Paul Brakeman has yet to publicly declare his candidacy.

Councilors Robin Fournier, Casey Dean and Monika Martin confirmed to Our Town they plan to appear on the Nov. 8 ballot. Brakeman, who is about to conclude his third term in office, had not responded to requests for comment prior to press deadline.

All Scotts Mills candidates have until Aug. 12 to file with the city in order to appear on the ballot. Fournier, who also serves as city manager, said no challengers have filed as of July 23.

Fournier is concluding her first elected term after being appointed to fill a vacancy in 2017. Dean was appointed in August 2021, and is seeking his first elected term. 

Though Martin confirmed her candidacy to Our Town, a candidate statement was not received by press time. She is concluding her first elected term after being voted in with two other candidates in 2018 out of a field of five contenders.
