Looks Like 3 People Will Run for First Selectman in Oxford: Report

Originally written by Brian McCready

OXFORD, CT — The race for the office of first selectman is likely to have three candidates and not just two. Already, Incumbent GOP First Selectman George R. Temple announced he was seeking re-election for a possible fourth term.

Shortly thereafter, Selectman Kathy Johnson, who challenged Temple last year, is running again but this time as an petitioning candidate. In an interview with the Republican-American Kate Cosgrove, who is chairwoman of the Oxford Democratic Town Committee, said she anticipates running a candidate for first selectman as well.

Cosgrove told the Rep-Am that there has been a surge in people signing up for the Democratic Town Committee, which she attributes to the last presidential election.
