Recalled Selectman Seeks Return To Board

STOUGHTON, MA — One of the selectmen ousted in December's recall election is seeking a return to the board.

Peter Brown is one of four candidates who will appear on April's Town Election ballot, according to Town Clerk Amy Akell. Brown was voted to the board in 2016 as a write-in candidate, but was removed from office about 20 months after his election victory.

Recall foe Peter Buckley is also on the ballot. Buckley was one of two anti-recall representatives during the SMAC/Stoughton News debate.

Selectman Stephen Cavey, who joined the board in the recall election, and Chairman Robert O'Reagan will both run for reelection.

Two seats on the board of selectmen are up for grabs.

On the school committee, only Molly Cochran's seat is up for grabs. The chairwoman of the school committee will run for reelection against two challengers. Former school committee member Erdem "Doc" Ural is once again seeking a return to the committee. Resident Barbara Marshall also made the ballot.

Forrest Lindwall is the only candidate for redevelopment authority and Town Moderator Adam Dawkins is unopposed.

No one has returned papers for the housing authority.

Papers for town meeting representative are not due until Feb. 20.
