PROVINCETOWN – Communications consultant Leslie Sandberg defeated restaurant manager Oriana Conklin and Select Board incumbent Lise King for the single open seat on the Select Board by a vote of 589 to 442 and 309 in Tuesday’s town election.
“I want to thank the town for believing in change, for believing the fact we can build consensus and we can get things done,” Sandberg said in a phone call following the results. While Conklin and King waited at Town Hall for the announcement from the Town Clerk, Sandberg did not.
“I did not expect to win after the attacks by people in town on Facebook, but I did believe in the fact that going door to door and talking to people one on one would make the difference,” Sandberg said.

Key issues
1. Capital improvements
Among the 39 articles is $5.065 million in debt exclusions for town capital improvement projects. Those include $410,000 for stormwater drainage improvements; $530,000 in building maintenance; $3.5 million for Court Street drainage and repairs; and $650,000 for a Ryder Street stormwater outfall project. The projects are estimated to have a combined annual property tax impact of $87.81 for a median assessed property, according to Town Manager Alex Morse.
2. A diversity, equity and inclusion office
Establishing this town office through Article 13 would require a $136,000 property tax override – an annual property tax impact of $32.75 for a median assessed property, according to Morse.
