Oak Bluffs Race Heats Up

The race is on in Oak Bluffs for two selectmen seats on this spring’s town ballot.

Roger W. Wey is challenging incumbent selectmen Gregory Coogan and Kathleen Burton for a three-year terms on the board. Both incumbents are facing reelection.

Mr. Coogan, a teacher at the Tisbury School, has served on the board since 2000. Ms. Burton, the current chairman, was elected to the board in 2009.

Mr. Wey served 21 years as an Oak Bluff selectman before he decided not to run for re-election in 2009.

The two board of selectman races are the only contested races on the ballot.
