Elections
2015
The New Bedford School Committee consists of seven members, six of whom are elected to four-year terms. Each of those six members are elected at large by all residents in the school district. The seventh member is the mayor of New Bedford. A primary election was scheduled for October 6, 2015, but was unnecessary as no more than two candidates filed per seat up for election. The general election was held on November 3, 2015.
The seats of incumbents Joaquim Livramento, Bruce Oliveira, and Marlene Pollock were up for election.[3][4] Livramento and Oliveira filed for re-election, while Pollock announced that she would not seek re-election. Both incumbents won re-election. They faced challengers Christopher Cotter, Celia Dos Santos, George Rogers, and Warley Williams in the general election; Cotter won the third seat up for election.[1]
