Stoughton Election Results: Husseini, Brown Win School Committee Race

In the only contested race this election cycle for the annual Stoughton Town Election, Joyce Husseini and Dr. Carol Brown each won three-year terms on the Stoughton School Committee.

There were four candidates vying for two seats on the committee in the April 30 Town Election.

Husseini, the incumbent, came in first with 1,783 votes, and Brown came in second with 1,377 votes.

Brown edged Patricia MacNeil, who came in third with 1,317 votes. Debra Cote came in fourth with 1,191 votes.

Overall, 3,750 voters cast a ballot in the town election, or 20.9 percent of the 17,964 total registered voters in town. 

Husseini's seat represented one of the two seats up this election. She was first reelected to the school committee in the 2010 Town Election. Fellow incumbent School Committee member Tom Colburn's seat was also up, but he did not seek reelection. He has served three terms on the Committee. 

T.J. Recupero was the lone candidate for a three-year seat on the board of selectmen. 

Incumbent, and current chairman of the board, John Stagnone, did not seek reelection after serving a single term. 

Incumbent Forrest Lindwall ran unopposed for a five-year term on the Redevelopment Authority and incumbent Howard Hansen ran unopposed for a year term as moderator.
