Miles, McAdow file for Winthrop council
Winthrop Town Council incumbents Seth Miles (Position 4) and Bill McAdow (Position 5) filed for re-election last week during a special three-day filing period for local offices for which no one had signed up during the regular filing period that ended May 19.
Miles and McAdow had not signed up during the regular filing period. Neither will be opposed on the ballot, and so advance directly to the Nov. 7 general election. The other Winthrop Council member on the ballot, Ben Nelson (Position 3) filed earlier and is also unopposed.
