King is running on May 11 for re-election to a three-year seat on the Select Board. Leslie Sandberg and Oriana Conklin are also running. As the virus outbreak swept across the nation, the town’s existing housing emergency was heightened, King said. “It’s an important balancing act” as the town as a whole works to mitigate the virus, keep businesses open and find enough housing for summer employees, she said.
