Commission Candidates Nov 2025

In more accurate terms, those people that The Don allowed to "run".

The three below could be unopposed - automatically "elected". Write-in candidates have until August 25th, but they won't be added to the ballot (obviously, Springfield News-Sun's orders from The Don to discourage anyone else).

They refer to Beth Donahue's petition as "invalid", claiming she had signatures from people not qualified to vote. The evidence of corruption in this town never ends.

I'm still investigating, but so far the choices seem like more of the same and handpicked by The Don.
