Elections
2015

The election in Nashua featured five of the nine seats on the board up for general election on November 3, 2015.[1] Incumbents Robert Hallowell, William Mosher and Elizabeth Van Twuyver, along with newcomers Howard Coffman and Doris Hohensee, officially ran unopposed and won the five at-large seats.
After the filing deadline, the following residents announced their intention to run write-in campaigns as a slate for the Nashua Board of Education: Ray Guarino, Donald Jean, Gwen Mikailov, Allison Nutting and Atlant Schmidt.[2] According to the New Hampshire Union Leader, the write-in candidates began their campaign due to a school board decision "to privatize the school district's custodial work in an effort to save money." This decision received significant criticism from the Nashua Labor Coalition, which endorsed the write-in slate.[3]
Fellow incumbents Steven Haas and Kimberly Smith Muise did not file for re-election. Nashua's 2009 and 2011 races also featured all unopposed candidates, although the 2013 election was contested.
