Here's Who Won Barnstable's Contested Town Council Races

BARNSTABLE, MA — In Barnstable's six — or seven, depending on how you look at it — contested council races, one vote could make or break a candidate.

That was literally the case in Precinct 9, where unofficial results show just a one-vote difference.

In Precinct 6, Paul Neary held on in a technically uncontested race, but featured a late addition to the slate in write-in candidate Paul Phalan.

Here's how the races shaped up.

Here are the candidates for each of those races:

Precinct 1

• Paul Gage — 229
• Gordon Starr — 528

Precinct 2

• Eric Steinhilber — 312
• Kristin Terkelsen — 540

Precinct 5

• John Crow — 796
• Paul Cusack — 404

Precinct 9

• Charlie Bloom — 100
• Michael Mecenas — 99

Precinct 11

• Kris Clark — 545
• Toby Leary — 416

Precinct 12

• Kyle Condinho — 262
• Paula Schnepp — 339

Three seats are available on the Barnstable Housing Authority, but only one candidate has filed to run in the race.
