Incumbent Linda Couch is seeking another term as the mayor of the Town of Cleveland. Couch is officially running opposed for the office.
A lifelong resident of the town, Couch has been involved in the community for over 20 years – serving on local boards, volunteering and helping families.
“I’m running for mayor because I care deeply about our community and want to help build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous future,” Couch said.
