Matthew Poole is running unopposed for a seat on the Chilmark select board at the April 30 election. 

Mr. Poole is a member of the board of health and recently served as the chair of the Chilmark Community Center moderator’s committee. Previously, he served as the Edgartown health agent for 26 years. 

If elected, Mr. Poole will take over for James Malkin, the select board’s chair who is stepping down after nine years.

When Mr. Malkin announced in January that he wouldn’t run for reelection, he voiced support for Mr. Poole.  

“I strongly support him, and I urge the town to give him full consideration,” Mr. Malkin said. 

None of the other races on the ballot are contested.
