Former Selectman Pulls Papers for 2 Boards, DeVellis Enters Reelection Bid

FOXBOROUGH, MA - A former selectman will seek a return to the board while a sitting member has reconsidered his decision not to run for reelection.

Mark Sullivan has pulled papers to run for a spot on the Board of Selectman and School Committee, according to Town Clerk Bob Cutler. He has returned papers for both positions.

The former chairman lost his 2014 re-election bid to David Feldman by less than 50 votes. Three years earlier, he edged out a 13-vote victory.

Selectmen Chairman Jim DeVellis initially announced that he would not run for a third term but has returned nomination papers according to Cutler.

Incumbent John Gray will also seek re-election, a victory would give Gray his second term on the board.

Residents Mark Elfman and Steven Sloan will also challenge for the seats.

On the School Committee side, Marilyn Weiss will campaign for her first full term while Stephen Udden will not run for a second term.

Former committee member Martha Slattery, who lost her seat in 2012, is once again running for a spot on the board. Robert Canfield III and Chris Connolly round out the challenges.

Both boards have a pair of three-year seats up for grabs.
