VAN CAMPEN | FROM PAGE 1 COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING Dinner of office for at least 30 days before taking on a new position and would have to be replaced on the Council. In Smith’s and Alcy Jabouin’s cases, the seats would go to the runners-up in the recent election for Councillor-at-Large, if they have received 20% of the vote. Unsuccessful City Council at-Large candidates were incumbent John Hanlon with 2,216 votes, which totaled only 5.77%, followed by Tina Olivieri with 1,941 votes (5%), Jean Daniel with 1,823 voters (4.75%) and Matthew Costello with 1,680 (4.4%). In that case the Council “can appoint any voter from the city for at-Large seats,” Cornelio reported. Martins ran unopposed MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2025 5-8 PM CONNOLLY CENTER 90 CHELSEA ST. CHIEF JOSEPH HICKEY CHIEF PAUL STRONG and, if she leaves, the Council can appoint a successor who must live in the Ward. Something similar happened last year when School Committee member-at-Large Samantha Lambert resigned. Her seat was offered to the highest runner-up: Cynthia Sarnie. When she declined to serve, it was offered to the next highest vote-getter, Kristin Bairos, who accepted and is now on the Committee. A less dramatic transition involves Wayne Matewsky becoming a Councillor-at-Large after hailing served as Ward 1 Councillor. His responsibilities will broaden to encompass the entire city, although he said he listened to comments and complaints from rodents all over the city as a Ward Councillor, in part because he had been a Councillor-at-Large and State Representative before his terms as Ward 1 Councillor. He called the change an “upgrade” and plans to work with new Ward 1 Councillor Michele Capone on issues affecting the Ward, as well as Van Campen on various issues. In the small world of Everett politics, Matewsky was elected as State Representative in 2013 in a Special Election to fill out the term previously held by Steven “Stat” Smith, father of Stephanie Smith. Stat resigned after pleading guilty in a voter fraud case. In 2014 Joe McGonagle defeated Matewsky for the state representative seat, which prompted Matewsky to run for City Council and win in 2015. Health issues led to a resignation, but a recovery led to him running for the Ward 1 seat when Capone gave up the seat to run for Mayor in 2021. He lost, but Matewsky won.
