Her term was set to expire Dec. 7 and she is not seeking re-election. The Republican town committee will nominate a replacement, which the selectmen must then approve. The committee would seek to fill the vacancy as soon as possible.

Haase has requested to be appointed to the economic development task force, for which she now serves as liaison to the board of selectmen.
