Wellesley’s March 5, 2019 Town Election isn’t going to be a quiet one. Five of the eleven open town-wide Board and Committee seats will have more than one candidate vying for them. Was it really only a few years ago (2013) that not a single town-wide office seat was contested? Times have changed, indeed.
Candidates had until Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 5pm to throw their hats in the ring. Here is the list of candidates for contested positions that the town shared with us on Tuesday afternoon. We’ll update it with any additional candidates once we have that info:
Board of Selectmen — 1 seat open

Board of Health — 1 seat open
