Leo Choquette

Mayor Jon Mitchell and Councilor Leo Choquette have responded to Councilor Shane Burgo’s motion to discuss an “authorized” homeless encampment in New Bedford.

New Bedford residents or business owners who have questions about taxes and how to seek an abatement are invited to attend a 'taxpayer town hall' next week.

New Bedford voters re-elected Mayor Jon Mitchell to a sixth term as mayor on Tuesday along with Leo Choquette as Ward 1 Councilor and Joe Lopes in Ward 5.

New Bedford Zoning Board of Appeals member Leo Choquette announced on WBSM's SouthCoast Tonight that he is once again running for Ward 1 City Councilor.

Leo Choquette is seeking a recount in his 44-vote loss to incumbent Brad Markey in New Bedford's Ward 1. Historically, recounts don't change the outcome.

Chris McCarthy writes Leo Choquette has done what it takes to win the Ward 1 council seat in New Bedford, while incumbent Brad Markey doesn't seem interested.

There will be a new New Bedford at-large council member elected next year. Long-time councilor Deb Coelho is retiring and that means a new councilor in 2021.

Leo Choquette is running for the second time for a seat on the New Bedford City Council. This could be the year for the financial planner and law school graduate.

It was another year of low voter turnout in New Bedford, with 9.5 percent of registered voters casting 5,618 ballots, the same turnout as in the 2017 preliminary.
