Weekly Buzz | Well, That's Over
Congrats to the winners of yesterday's election!

Hey, friends! What a day.
Congratulations to all those who earned seats in yesterday’s election and those who didn’t win but ran enthusiastic and energetic campaigns, and thanks to everyone who came out to vote.
Election Results
Christine Monaco will remain on School Committee, and will be joined by Melissa Massardo.
Ed Weiner will return to Board of Health, and Gayle DaMore earned the second seat.
Nick Priest will be joined on Select Board by Mike Espejo. This was not a contested race, but I had photos and wanted to round out the collage.
Precinct 6 Town Meeting will be full, with challengers Dan Collins and Bob Aloisi, Jr., joining Dan DiTucci, Jr., James Fraczek, Darrell Interess, and William Trelegan.
There were a hefty number of write-ins for Housing Authority and Precinct 1 & 5 Town Meeting, but these candidates need to be contacted by our Town Clerk before names are released.
No surprises on the rest of the ballot, and the results will be posted on the Town Clerk’s website soon.
As of now, it looks like turnout was actually down from last year at 15.24%. As you can imagine, I have thoughts about this, but I don’t have the energy for them right now so I’m just going to keep doing what I do and try and find more ways to reach people.
