Towe elected as New Mayor of Salem

By a margin of just seven votes, Lynn Towe was elected to be the new Mayor of the Town of Salem. In a special election on Tuesday to fill the unexpired term of the late Diane Head, Towe received 29 votes to Kevin Talley’s 22. Towe will now take the oath of office to serve the one year remaining of Mayor Head’s term. Next year, Salem voters head back to the polls to decide who will serve a full, four-year term as mayor of the town.
