Catherine Heuberger is Mattapoisett's new town clerk after securing 692 votes to fellow candidate Erika Suzan Osetkowski's 669 votes in the only contested race of the annual town election on Tuesday.

Heubgerger, who currently works in the treasurer/tax collector's office, said she was ready to take on the town clerk position after nine years at Town Hall.

“Working in the tax collector office has given me a lot of experience working with the residents, getting to know everybody, the inner workings of town government,” she said.

Overall, the election brought out 1,389 voters, almost 30 percent of registered residents.

The one ballot question, a debt exclusion to pay for road improvements, passed with 620 votes versus 303 opposed.

Selectman Tyler Macallister will take on his second three year term with 1,001 votes. James Higgins, current chair of the Mattapoisett School Committee, will also be back for another three year term with 1,006 votes.
