LEYDEN — After two years on the Selectboard, Glenn Caffery is not seeking reelection, which means Leyden voters will be finding his successor during Tuesday’s town election.

Polls will be open from noon to 8 p.m. at the Town Office, 7 Brattleboro Road.

This year’s ballot includes Jeffrey Baker, 61, as the sole individual who is looking to fill the Selectboard position after Caffery, 62, leaves the board.

“I’m going to do something that’s really exciting and really scary,” Caffery said. “Starting mid-July and going through late October ... I’m going to go to a different state in the country, eventually hitting all 50 states and running an ultra-distance trail run ... to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research.”

His campaign will support the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, a nonprofit that’s dedicated to funding research to prevent, slow or reverse Alzheimer’s disease, according to the organization’s website. Caffery first started working with the nonprofit in 2011, when he completed a solo transcontinental fundraising run in honor of his father, who had Alzheimer’s disease and died “very young.”

Caffery noted he is also recruiting locals who are interested in being a part of the cause, which people can learn more about at alzrun.org.

As a lifelong Leyden resident, Baker said being a Selectboard member could be his “chance to give back” to the community. Currently, he’s a financial advisor at Baker Financial Group in Greenfield. Before that, Baker obtained a degree in sports management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and then worked for Phoenix Home Life, an insurance company.

“I started out with nothing in this financial industry,” Baker recalled. “When I went to becoming a financial advisor, I started with zero clients. ... Somehow I made it happen. I built a business that today is very strong.”

Baker said if he becomes Leyden’s new Selectboard member, he wants to help facilitate conversations with the schools that the town is involved with. For instance, Baker said he wants to help with finding someone who can fill one of the vacant spots on the Pioneer Valley Regional School District School Committee. Baker also wants to keep Leyden’s taxes down and make sure the town stays on top of its expenses.

“I look forward to meeting with representatives and senators of the state of Massachusetts and other selectboards and people in our local community, meaning Franklin County. I care a lot about the community,” Baker said. “I do feel like I’m quick to listen, slow to speak and very slow to get angry. [It] creates good conversation. I care, I communicate and I budget.”
