Haworth wins Fairhaven Selectmen’s Seat. Radio Interviews on WATD, WBUR

[Update: With a special recount held on April 5th, the election results for the Board of Health seat remain in doubt although the election night winner, John Wethington, has since been sworn into office. Mark Curtis reports for ABC6  in Providence, RI: “Fairhaven Board of Health Election Still in Dispute.”]

Ariel Wittenberg reporting in South Coast Today “Fairhaven selectman, health board incumbents ousted,” wrote on April 1, 2013 “Election night in Fairhaven saw challengers in the boards of health and selectmen win over multi-term incumbents.”

Incumbent selectman Brian Bowcock lost to Geoffrey Haworth by 356 votes. The Board of Health race was much closer, with incumbent Peter DeTerra losing to newcomer John Wethington by just three votes. Soon after votes were tallied tonight, DeTerra vowed he would ask for a recount.
