Town Council incumbents Mary Ann Lynch and Paul McKenney were re-elected to the council in Tuesday's municipal election, and newcomer Jack Kennealy was elected to a three-year term on the School Board.

School Board incumbent Rebecca Millett was also re-elected to one of two three-year terms open on the board. Trish Brigham, a sitting School Board member, ran unopposed for a two-year term left open by the resignation of Kevin Sweeney.

In other state and county referendum news, Cape Elizabeth voters said they did not support a racino in Washington County, and that they did not favor an increase in the number of county commissioners from three to seven.

An even 2,500 votes were cast, for a total of 32 percent.
