Ward 3

New Bedford Ward 3 candidate Shawn Oliver said he may not be well-versed in politics, but he wants to represent the typical resident on the city council.

Local attorney Jacob Ventura said he is exploring a run for the New Bedford Ward 3 City Council seat soon to be vacated by Hugh Dunn.

The dates have been selected for the impending Ward 3 special election in New Bedford, as residents will select who will replace resigning councilor Hugh Dunn.

Former New Bedford Councilor Henry Bousquet has denied rumors that he is staging a write-in campaign for his prior seat — but some residents are planning to vote for him.

In a statement sent to WBSM News, Dunn acknowledged that he is 'one of nearly six million Americans who (have) tested positive for COVID-19.'

Councillor Hugh Dunn and the Neighborhood Task Force executed a property code sweep Wednesday in the North End area from Logan Street to Beetle Street, and Belleville Avenue up to North Front Street.
