In the contested race for Board of Library Trustees, incumbent John Byrnes was re-elected, and was elected to a second open seat. It was Auger's first campaign for public office.

The town election drew a small number of voters this year, based on preliminary results released Tuesday night by the Milford Town Clerk, Amy Hennessy Neves.

Just 2,741 ballots were cast, about 16 percent of the registered voters.

The election this year featured only two contested races. No one challenged the incumbents for Board of Selectmen or Milford School Committee this year.
