Voters in Fairhaven have re-elected Stasia Powers to the Select Board for a three-year term and added two new board members at this year's town election.
FAIRHAVEN Fairhaven residents have spoken. Select Board Chair Daniel Freitas will no longer sit on the town s highest board after voters decided overwhelmingly to recall him in the July 26 special election.
According to the unofficial election results, out of 2,345 ballots cast, 1,903 were in favor of recalling Freitas, more than four times the 419 votes against.
Replacing Freitas on the Select Board will be School Committee member Stasia Powers, who won with 807 votes against Sustainability Committee Vice Chair Leon Correy III (785 votes) and Public Works Board member Cameron Durant (659 votes.)
Powers will fill in for the rest of Freitas term, until the 2022 Town Election next spring.
