Oxford “holding steady” with few changes on the ballot
OXFORD – Oxford residents will see plenty of familiar names on the ballot next week, as the town’s supervisor, clerk and one councilman seek reelection unopposed. The only exception is a new candidate, also running unchallenged, who is seeking the second vacant council spot.
Oxford Supervisor Lawrence Wilcox is seeking his sixth two-year term, for which he is running unopposed.
During his tenure in the town’s top leadership position, the Republican said he has prided himself on ensuring the municipality’s financial stability.
“I think we are providing the services the town needs without going overboard,” Wilcox said.
As a board, he and the town council have worked to keep tax increases at a minimum each year, he explained, while steadily building the town’s capital reserves. Because of these reserves, the town was able to “pay cash” for a $197,000 piece of highway equipment earlier this year, he reported. “I think that speaks very well for the town board.”
