Voters in Buxton re-elected the two selectmen whose seats were up for grabs, rejecting Planning Board member Keith Emery’s bid for one of the seats.

Board of Selectmen Chairwoman Jean Harmon and Selectman Bob Libby will both remain in their seats for another three years.

Harmon led the tally with 643 votes, followed by Libby with 617 and Emery with 431.

Emery Wednesday morning said that he was “making it” after his loss.

“The public got what they wanted,” he said. “They don’t want a change as far as selectmen go.”

For Planning Board, Caroline Segalla was ousted in a three-way race for two, three-year seats. Long-time community member David Savage won a seat with 596 votes and newcomer Emily Walsh won with 500. Segalla trailed with 419 votes. Segalla’s term was up this year, with the other open seat being vacated by Barbara Elwell, who did not seek re-election.

Emery said losing Segalla, who is an assistant planner in Kennebunk, was going to be a big loss for the town. He said Walsh is a good addition – she is an attorney with a specialization in land use. “She’ll help keep us out of trouble,” Emery said.

Savage has no planning experience.

Going into Tuesday’s vote there were no candidates for the two vacant director positions on the School Administrative District 6 board, but write-in campaigns elected Hilda Lynch with 42 votes for a three-year term, and Larry Miller with 28 votes for a one-year term.

Angela Desruisseaux and Brent Hill both won seats on the Personnel Review Committee through write-in campaigns, with 26 and 25 votes, respectively. Marie Clements, a declared candidate, also won a seat. But, voters at the same time repealed the Personnel Review Committee in Article 3 on the ballot, voting 488-441 to amend the charter, and 437-428 to repeal the Personnel Review Committee ordinance. The changes are effective at the end of the town meeting on Saturday.

The 12-person Budget Committee had two official candidates, incumbents Penny Brooker and Richard Emery, for four expiring, three-year seats. The panel also had one vacant two-year seat and one vacant one-year seat.

Peter Burns, the current Budget Committee chairman, was a write-in candidate with 36 votes, as was Dennis Santalocito, who received 28 votes.

Dora Clements ran unopposed for a two-year term on the committee, and Diane Senechal, the selectmen’s secretary, was a write-in for the one-year term.

Voters approved the move to reduce the size of the Budget Committee from 12 seats to seven. The measure passed, 727-221. Tuesday’s elected members of the board will keep their seats until their terms expire, and no further elections will be held for the positions until there are less than seven board members.

“I’m happy that the articles passed,” said Selectman Cliff Emery in reference to the changes in the charter. “I just think they were things that needed to be done.”

Unopposed wins were John Myers for town clerk and Susan Myers for tax collector.

There were no contests in local primary races. Republican John Cushing and Democrat Barry Hobbins will compete for Senate District 5 in the fall. Democrat Linda Sanborn will face Republican Norman Justice for House District 130. Republican Donald Marean will face Robert Hunt for House District 131.

Buxton voters diverged slightly from Maine voters in the Democratic primary in the 1st District congressional race, narrowly choosing Adam Cote over Chellie Pingree, 175-173. Ethan Strimling came in third with 48 votes, then Michael Brennan with 40, Mark Lawrence with 20, and Stephen Meister with 3.

In the Republican primary, Charlie Summers beat Dean Scontras, 255-222.

Wendi Clarke, voting Tuesday morning, cast her ballot only to support one statewide candidate, Scontras.

“He’s pro-life,” Clarke said.

Buxton voters also narrowly passed the state referendum providing $29.7 million for transportation and waterway infrastructure and landfills, 556-535.

There were 1,139 ballots cast in Buxton, a 19.2 percent voter turnout. The charter changes on the ballot were the first articles of the town meeting warrant. The town meeting will continue Saturday at Town Hall, beginning at 9 a.m.
