Select Board seat to open in Chittenden

By Brett Yates

The Chittenden Select Board will have a new member next year. Joseph Casella announced on Dec. 23 that he would not seek reelection on Town Meeting Day.

Casella joined the board in 2021 after running unopposed for a two-year term. He won a second uncontested election in 2023.

Town Meeting Day is Tuesday, March 4, 2025. In towns that elect officers by Australian ballot, as Chittenden does, a candidate must submit a petition to the town clerk by the sixth Monday before the election. This year, that’s Jan. 27.

Selectman Andrew Quint’s three-year term also expires in 2025. Quint told the Mountain Times that he plans to run for reelection.
