WAYLAND, MA — There's just a few weeks left for Wayland residents to file to run for office in 2022 for seats on the Board of Selectmen, School Committee and eight other boards and commissions. There are already a few competitive races in Wayland ahead of the March 22 filing deadline for the April 14 election. Board of Selectmen Chair Thomas Fay is up for reelection in 2022, and has attracted two challengers: Human Rights, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee member Dovie King and Board of Public Works member Clifford Lewis. School Committee member Kimberly Reichelt, meanwhile, is facing a challenge from Craig Gurber.
