Opposition

The election in Manchester featured 14 of the 15 seats on the board up for general election on November 3, 2015. The last seat, held by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas at the time of the election, was elected separately on the ballot. A primary election was held on September 15, 2015, to narrow down the number of candidates to two per seat in each race for the general election. Wards 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 12 held primary elections.

In the Ward 5 race, candidates Jeremy Dobson and Lisa M. Freeman competed for the seat. Freeman defeated Dobson in the general election. Freeman previously ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in 2013.

Nine board members faced competition in their re-election bids, while another three ran unopposed and won re-election to their seats. The elections in wards 4 and 5 did not feature any incumbents. Neither Ward 4 member Amy L. Bradley nor Ward 5 member Ted Rokas filed for re-election.

Several rematches from the 2013 election took place, including Ward 2 member Debra G. Langton and challenger Sarah L. Browning, Ward 6 member Dan Bergeron and challenger Bill Hughen, and Ward 12 member Constance Van Houten and challenger Christine Duffley. The Ward 12 race also featured former board member Roger Beauchamp.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Hampshire

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
