BELLOWS FALLS â Rockingham voters have plenty of choice in electing three members of the Rockingham Select Board this coming Tuesday.
One, three-year seat and two, one-year seats are up for grabs, and only one incumbent, Stefan Golec, is seeking another term.
Four of the seven candidates are running for more than one seat since there is a three-year and two one-year seats available, trying to improve their odds of landing any seat on the board.
Running for the three-year seat are Golec, 53, Bonnie North, 73, Cass Wright, 66, Deb Wright, 63, and Jonathan Wright, 45, all of Bellows Falls.

To the editor: Hello friends and neighbors, my name is Elijah Zimmer. I am running for a one year seat on the Rockingham Select Board. I am a 29 year old Bellows Falls resident. I want to promote a positive, livable and affordable community for working class families and people of all ages.
During these challenging times I recognize that empathy and a spirit of community collaboration are very important. By working together and having a civil, respectful dialog about the issues facing our communities, we can build a brighter future for all. As a young person I will bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the board. Promoting local businesses and the creative economy, the arts, historic preservation and care of the environment are important priorities that I feel improve the quality of life, create jobs and build a stronger community.
