Portsmouth’s November 3 election is heating up with big-name returns and fresh faces vying for City Council and School Board seats. Incumbents Vernon Tillage Jr. and Mark Hugel are back for another term, while veteran Vice Mayor Bill Moody—once out but now back—is eyeing his eighth term. Former council members Lisa Lucas-Burke and Mark Whitaker are also jumping back in. On the School Board, four current members are seeking reelection amid a crowded field of eight candidates. The top three vote-getters in each race will claim the seats. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
