Rep Roy Pigeon Seeks Re-Election Amid Primary Challenge

Representative Roy W. Pigeon will seek a second term in the Legislature as a Republican contender faced by Walter G. Baker, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, and Herbert S. Avery. Three Democrats seek the nomination: William A. Flynn, Walter G. Baker, and William P. Coughlin. Baker also filed as an independent, ensuring his name appears on the November ballot regardless of primary results. If Baker wins the party contests or runs as independent, three candidates could vie for the seat in November depending on September primary outcomes.
