McGonagle to Face Aguilo, Lewandowski vs. Cooper in November's Final Election

Haverhill voters in Wards 4 and 6 chose two city council candidates from each neighborhood to go on to November’s final election during today’s preliminary election.

In Ward 6, Oliver Aguilo secured a spot on the ballot for ward councilor, ensuring a rematch against incumbent Michael S. McGonagle. Ward 6 saw less than 7% of eligible voters turn out. McGonagle scored the most votes with 272 to Aguilo’s 132 and firefighter Timothy F. Carroll Jr. winning 83 votes. As WHAV reported previously, Carroll is recovering from a heart attack he suffered July 17 at the fire station.

Aguilo, who lost to McGonagle in 2023 and gave no interviews before today’s election, told WHAV he credits his success to a head start.

“I started knocking doors very early and I put my signs up earlier than anyone and I think the residents of Haverhill started seeing my name before all the names,” he said.
