If you are referring to Dick Boulton, I would not give him the benefit of the doubt after he was caught spreading lies about his opponent in the last election.

There was an effort in 2020 to try to throw the bums out. Unfortunately, conspiracy minded folks on the left and right joined forces with the cronies on the board to wage an all out smear campaign against the challengers. It didn't matter what was true, as long as enough sh*t was thrown out there to keep the focus away from the horrible job they were doing.
