Gray elected Pamela Edson and Judith Simoneau to serve on the Town Council during Tuesday’s election. Edson and Simoneau, who were among five candidates vying for two seats, received 1,261 and 1,056 votes, respectively.

Edson described herself as a lifelong resident with deep family roots in the town and a “hometown girl.” In the wake of the town paying for a fire truck with money it didn’t have, Edson said the difficulty in obtaining information on the fire truck underscored the need for transparency, and criticized the past two town managers for what she called a lack of “presence” in the town.

Simoneau, a local business owner, was concerned about the impact upcoming construction downtown would have on traffic. Regarding the town cutting its contract with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, Simoneau said the previous contract was not fit for Gray, as the town was paying for deputies that could be called to other towns, and proposed an ad hoc committee to look at alternative forms of coverage.

The voters also approved the town’s $13 million municipal budget, 1,418-1,299.

Edson and Simoneau could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday night.

In addition, Maurice Joseph Murray won an uncontested race for the Gray Water District Board At-large.
