Challengers Michael Bean and Dutrochet “Dee” Djoko will be replacing incumbents Gardner Trask and Matthew Duggan for their three-year Select Board terms, according to unofficial results posted at the Danvers High School Tuesday night.
“This is a big responsibility that the people of Danvers have given me,” Djoko said. “I’ll celebrate tonight, enjoy the moment, and put my feet up. But tomorrow it’ll be time to get to work, because this was never about winning for me, it’s been about governance.”
A total 7,280 Danvers residents voted in the Select Board race. Unofficially, Dee Djoko finished second to Bean by 30-40 votes.. Gardner Trask was not re-elected for the first time in 18 years, and Duggan finished fourth after just one term.
Bean was the top vote-getter in the four-person race for two seats with 2,202 votes, with Djoko second with 2,171 votes in unofficial results. Incumbent Gardner Trask was third with 1,799 votes and incumbent Matthew Duggan was third with 1,090 votes.
Many members of the DanversDems were out there supporting Dee.
