CUMBERLAND COUNTY – Neal Jamieson of Scarborough and Steve Gorden of North Yarmouth will represent the newly created District 1 and District 3 seats on the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners starting in January.

Jamieson, with 6,846 votes, beat Scarborough resident Annalee Rosenblatt, 5,006 votes, and Harrison’s Lisa Villa, 3,355 votes, to capture the District 1 seat, representing Scarborough, Gorham, Standish, Sebago, Baldwin, Bridgton and Harrison.

With a total vote tally of 6,899 to 5,617, Gorden defeated Mark Grover of Gray, and will represent the District 3 towns of Gray, New Gloucester, North Yarmouth, Freeport, Pownal, Brunswick and Harpswell.

Jamieson, a Portland attorney who served on the County Charter Commission and helped draft a new county charter approved by voters in 2010, thanked his supporters Wednesday. He also thanked his fellow competitors.

“I want to thank both my opponents for running a good, tight and upbeat race, and I welcome their input going forward,” he said.

Jamieson, who supported the civic center renovations, which also passed in Tuesday’s voting, was excited project will move forward.

“The civic center generates $12 million-$14 million a year in spin-off income, and it sustains hundreds of jobs. It is a cultural and entertainment resource. With interest rates low and a competitive bid environment, it’s definitely a good bang for our buck,” he said.

Gorden, who could not be contacted prior to deadline, and Jamieson will literally draw straws at the commissioners’ first meeting in January to see which serves a one-year term. The other will serve two years. Eventually all commissioners will serve four-year staggered terms.
