Longtime Edgartown Select Board member (D) not seeking re-election
After nearly three decades serving on the Edgartown Select Board, Margaret Serpa announced she will not seek re-election this spring.
Serpa, 84, who has lived in Edgartown her entire life, has served on the board since 1999, making her one of the longest serving members in recent history. She said she joined after longtime selectmen Ted Morgan encouraged her to run after another member stepped down that year.
“I’ve enjoyed doing it,” said Serpa in an interview with The Times. “It’s hard to say goodbye because we’ve got a good committee. But it’s time for somebody else a little younger to come in and see what happens.”
“That’s what you have to do to keep the town going,” she said.
