Rehoboth Beach residents vote to fill two commissioner seats August 14th.

Four candidates are vying to represent the city as it grapples with new development, a tourist boom, and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is one incumbent in the race, Richard Byrne, who has been on the board for three years.

Rachel Macha, who current serves on the city's Planning Commission, is running again after falling short of win a seat last year.
