Poch Withdraws from Selectmen's Race

With a week to go before Sudbury's Special Town Election to fill its two newly created Board of Selectmen seats, the choice to fill those seats has dropped by one.

Eric Poch announced on the One Sudbury Facebook page he has withdrawn due to personal and professional reasons.

"This was a very difficult decision for me to make, but I am withdrawing from the race for Selectman," he wrote. "I sincerely hope that outcome of whoever is elected will share my desire to actively push for increased transparency, better accountability and improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of how we deliberate the workings of our town."

Poch was running for the two-year seat. Now, that seat is up for grabs between Thaddeus Gozdeck and Chuck Woodard.

Special Town Election is June 25.
