NORTHFIELD — Assistant Town Clerk Dan Campbell will soon take his seat on the Selectboard after winning the sole contested position in this year’s town election by 60 votes, besting his opponent Barbara Brassor.

Five hundred and forty-eight of Northfield’s 2,597 registered voters cast their ballots in Tuesday’s election, making for a 21.1% turnout, according to Town Clerk Amanda Lynch. Of those voters, 304 chose Campbell to fill the Selectboard seat being vacated by Heath Cummings, who did not seek reelection, and 244 voted for Brassor.

Campbell, who has worked in the public sector since he was 14 years old, previously said that his experience is what set him apart as a Selectboard candidate. He worked as a schoolteacher for 10 years before transitioning to work as a salesman for 30 years.

He has served on multiple boards, including a stint on Bernardston’s Zoning Board of Appeals, where he lived for five years, and a 20-year tenure as a member of the Northfield Finance Committee, serving four years as its chair. Campbell also served as Northfield’s town clerk for 10 years before transitioning to assistant town clerk two years ago.

Campbell, 74, previously said he was running for Selectboard with the goal of finding funding to revitalize the town’s infrastructure, including the sewer system, Fire Station and EMS.

“Small towns are having a hard time right now to pay the bills and find funding to have all the programs that are necessary,” he said. “We’re trying to look in the future and see how we can enhance the area with our neighbors to see if we can work together, coordinating with each other to lessen the burden.”
