Aquinnah voters elected Jim Newman to a sixth term as selectman at the annual town election Wednesday. Mr. Newman won a three-way race for the seat with 80 votes.
Three candidates are running for a single seat on the Aquinnah board of selectmen this year, each longtime town residents with differing visions for the future.
While the school vote dominated the annual town election Tuesday, Tisbury voters also elected in a new selectman and decided a contested race for the finance and advisory committee.
Tisbury voters head to the polls today to make a final decision on a $46.6 million new school project. Polls are open from noon to 8 p.m. at the public safety building on Spring street. Heavy turnout is expected.
James Rogers figured when he retired from the Tisbury fire department, he ought to find a new way to serve the town. Next week, he’s running unopposed for selectman.
