Lexington’s five-member Select Board works collectively to set goals and create policy for the Town. The Select Board hires and supervises the Town Manager, who is responsible for executing those policies. The Board is also the road commissioner and licensing authority. 

Select Board members are elected for three-year terms. This year, there are two candidates running for two seats, so the election is not contested. Both are incumbents.

LexObserver sat down with each candidate to hear about their background, experience, and the issues that matter most to them and to all Lexington residents.
