OTIS – Challengers were elected in the only two contested races on the May 24 ballot in Otis.
According to preliminary results released by Town Clerk Lyn O’Brien on election night, Teresa Cook-Visser unseated Planning Board member Harold Kobrin for a five-year seat, by a margin of 72 to 55.
Jill Moretz beat incumbent Assessor Russell Loring, 76 to 50, in a race for a three-year term.
A handful of voters left those races blank on their ballots. In all, 135 residents voted, slightly less than 11 percent of the town’s 1,254 registered voters.
There was no candidate on the ballot for a one-year term as moderator. David Sarnacki led the write-ins with 12 votes, followed by Chris Bouchard with three votes, and eight others with one vote apiece.
The rest of the seats on the town ballot were uncontested: Larry Southard was re-elected to the Select Board, Deborah Fogel was re-elected to the Regional School Committee, Lyn O’Brien was re-elected as town clerk, Bruce Wall was re-elected to the Cemetery Commission, Lynn Jablonski won a seat on the Finance Board, Susan Bauer-Brofan was re-elected as a library trustee and John “Jack” Conboy was re-elected as tree warden. All are three-year terms except tree warden, which is for one year.
