HOLYOKE The empty field of candidates to replace outgoing Mayor Alex Morse began filling up Friday.
Two of the city’s elected officials announced their candidacies for the position within hours of each other: At-Large School Committee member Devin Sheehan and At-Large City Councilor Rebecca Lisi.
Morse announced in December that he would not seek reelection to a fifth term in office. Morse was first elected mayor at age 22 in 2011. He lost the Democratic primary for the 1st Congressional District House seat held by U.S. Rep. Richard Neal in September.
