'reelection' is one word; it should not be hyphenated.
The same goes for 'reelect' and 'reelected.'

Arguably, either is correct. While Webster's has no hyphen, the Associated Press Stylebook offers: "Except for cooperate and coordinate, use a hyphen if the prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows begins with the same vowel."

I wish there was a 'like' button on patch for John Intorcio's comment.

conflict of interest when someone on the commission does "outside"work around town and is on the the commission. Not right!
