Houlton voters elect 5 to Town Council

Houlton voters have elected five members to the Town Council following a high-turnout midterm election. Incumbents Fred Grant, John Schools, and Sue Tortello retained their seats, joined by challenger Darrell Scott White and a write-in candidate. The election saw eight candidates compete for the five seats, reflecting increased community interest following the recent dismissal of the former town manager. Incumbent Jeffrey Maquire failed to secure re-election.
