SOUTH PORTLAND — Two candidates hope to fill the remainder of former City Councilor Adrian Dowling’s three-year term.
Dowling, who represented District 5, unexpectedly resigned in September after serving less than one year his term, which expires Dec. 31, 2020. A special election to fill the vacancy will be held Dec. 11.
Deqa Dhalac, of Red Oak Drive, and Donald Cook, of New York Avenue, successfully collected the required 100 signatures from registered voters and will appear on the ballot next month.
