Unique among all the candidates for East Hampton Town trustee, Mike Martinsen spends almost every day of the year on the water.

Stephen Lester, having served six terms as a town trustee, did not seek re-election in 2015. “I needed a break,” he said this week.

Rona Klopman is seeking a trustee seat for the third time, having run twice before, though unsuccessfully.

This year marks Michael Havens’s second bid for a trustee seat. The lifelong resident of the town is among a long line of baymen in his family, and he believes that experience will serve him well if elected.
