In the Mattapoisett annual Town Election on Tuesday, Mary Crain kept her seat on the Planning Board in one of only two contested races.

Crain, who was appointed to fill an empty seat last summer, defeated Paul Osenkowski with 396 votes to 193.

Crain holds a masters in urban and regional planning from Rutgers University and spent more than 10 years working in town planning in Everett, Salem, and Watertown.

She said, “I’d like to see that any kind of necessary development or growth be allowed within certain parameters – growth done cautiously and wisely.”

In the other contested race, William Hubbard won a seat as the Water and Sewer Commissioner with 379 votes compared to Christopher Jaskolka's 246.

There was one question on the ballot regarding road improvements. Mattapoisett voters approved a $200,000 debt exclusion to pay for phase three of the town's five-year road improvement plan with 273 votes for the exclusion and 188 against it.
