Happy Spring everyone.
As always April started off with the annual Town Election April 1st. I would like to thank The Seekonk Reporter for extending the submission deadline so we could include the election results below.

Election Results

The write in wins were:
Housing Authority for 5 years: Stephen W. Sprague
Congratulations to all the candidates who won. Best of luck in your new or re-elected positions. Also, thanks to all the candidates who ran, but didn’t win. It’s not an easy task running for an elected position. Your time and effort was not wasted. People will remember you and your desire to serve the town.

It takes many people to run an election I would like to thank the following: All our wonderful poll workers and registrars. It’s a long day each and every one of you is appreciated for all your dedication and hard work. Also thank you to the Police Department, DPW and Country Kitchen.
