Wicked Local
North Andover’s local election Tuesday saw Janice Phillips and Richard Vaillancourt emerge as victors in the Select Board race, and Pam Pietrowski and Andrew McDevitt won seats on the School Committee.
Select Board
Vaillancourt won a fourth term on the Select Board and came in on top with 2,440 votes. Before being elected to that board in 2012, Vaillancourt served on the Zoning Board of Appeals for six years and as an officer on the board of the North Andover Merchants Association.
“It feels great. You run a clean campaign, you run a positive campaign, and people respond to that. They don’t respond to negativity. And I think that’s what we saw a lot of that negativity especially the last couple of days.”

Pam Pietrowski has worked in education for a long time, but she’s never met challenges like we’ve seen the past year. And that’s brought her to the North Andover local election, running for a spot on the School Committee. COVID-19 has presented challenges like we ve never before seen, while only exacerbating existing challenges that have long-been put off, Pietrowksi said after returning her nomination papers to Town Hall. I gave it a lot of thought before deciding to take this plunge, but I think my perspective, background, and personal experiences can all be assets to moving our district forward.
