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.

BELLOWS FALLS â Rockingham residents will have plenty of choice for the three open seats on the Rockingham Select Board at Town Meeting in March.
With Select Board members Gaetano Putignano and Ben Masure not seeking re-election, more than a half dozen people have filed for a seat, with most of the candidates filing for both the open three-year seat and one of the two, one-year seats.
Such a strategy is legal, Vermont election officials have said in the past, but successful candidates may only hold one seat.
Among the candidates are three named Wright: Bellows Falls Village President Deborah Wright, as well as her husband Cass Wright, have both filed two different seats; also filing for two seats is Jonathan Wright of Bellows Falls, who is no relation to Deborah or Cass Wright. Jonathan Wright was a former Bellows Falls village trustee until June. Cass Wright briefly served on the Rockingham Select Board a few years ago,
