Hampstead Mayor Chris Nevin, a Republican, formally filed to run for re-election yesterday, accepting the challenge of Councilman Wayne H. Thomas, who entered the mayoral race last month.

Nevin has said he would run "as a ticket" with Councilmen Lawrence H. Hentz and Stephen A. Holland, who also are seeking re-election May 11. He noted that chief projects -- finding public water sources, moving forward on a long-planned bypass, a new police station, and the revitalization of Main Street -- are well under way, but not completed.

The council has worked cooperatively on the chief projects, but Thomas has questioned some of the council's business being conducted in closed sessions.
