Kristen Reed to Run Again
Select board member Kristen Reed, who joined the board in 2018, is running for a second term, she told the Independent on Feb. 23.
Both she and Jan Worthington, a select board member since 2006, are up for re-election. Worthington did not return a call by deadline seeking comment on whether she was going to try for a fifth term.
Reed said she has more than the necessary 20 signatures for nomination.
Reed has lived on the Outer Cape for 16 years, and is co-founder of Chequessett Chocolate, a craft chocolate business in Truro that has created over 22 jobs, she stated on her website, kristenmreed.com. She also works as a certified nursing assistant caring for seniors.
The town election is May 11.
