He plans to challenge Republican David Singer for Selectman John R. Bacon’s seat. Bacon, 73, said he is running for another term. With a long road ahead to possibly winning as selectman’s seat, Szafarowicz was clear about his reasons for running. “I’m doing it for the people,” Szafarowicz said in an interview at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School last week, where he is a senior. To be clear,Szafarowicz’s eligibility won’t be an issue. He turns 18 on Sunday, Feb. 22, at which point he plans to register to vote (as a Republican) and pull out nomination papers. He is eligible to withdraw the documents on his birthday, according to Assistant Town Clerk Darlene Tully,and must submit them by Friday, March 13. Candidates for elected town office must also live in the town, which Szafarowicz does, and be registered to vote. Candidates near Szafarowicz’s age are rare, but that is not stopping him from running — his “can do” attitude, love for the political process and helping people is driving him to run for the town’s highest elected office. Family rallies as tragedy strikes Szafarowicz’s reasons for running can be traced back to when he started high school in 2005 and took up many activities. “I decided that I am going to make a name ENEFIT TO BE HELD FOR LOCAL MAN FIGHTING ILLNESS B Turn To SZAFAROWICZ, page 11 BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL (ADEM).
