James McAuliffe has won the race for town treasurer. He will replace Kevin Sorgi who has held the position for the last 28 years.  Charlie McCarthy was gracious in defeat saying, “It’s not the end of the world. [and] It’s about the journey not the end.” He congratulated both Ms. Lorden and Mr. McAuliffe on their campaigns. Ms. Lorden was equally gracious in acknowledging McAullife. “He ran an amazing campaign.”

Appearing at Town Hall after the results came in Mr McAuliffe said he was “flabbergasted, but thrilled.” He ran a good campaign and mobilized his supporters. The town turnout overall was 22.8%.  Quite a bit below what was predeicted. Mr. Mullen, the Town Clerk, had estimated a turnout of over 30%. Precinct 7 had the best turnout with 29.1% and Precinct had the poorest turnout, only 11.8%.

Congratulations Mr. McAuliffe!
