It’s Official: Berlin Has Contested Mayoral Election

That, he says, is why he’s seeking a third consecutive term as mayor of the historic town. Williams filed for reelection Monday, just days before the Sept. 2 deadline. He will face Council member Lisa Hall in October’s election. Hall will vacate her council seat to run for mayor.

“Building on the work that has been ongoing for over two decades, I wish to continue to serve the citizens of Berlin in helping to add some more important blocks to a foundation that will allow our community to prosper, not just today but for the generations who will follow, while preserving our unique quality of life that is precious to all of us,” Williams said.

Williams joined the group on the dais as a councilman in 2003 after years of living in and covering town politics for local newspapers. Working as a reporter, he was a familiar face in Berlin Town Hall long before he was elected.

“I’ve been in town hall most second and fourth Monday nights in my life,” he joked.
