Poitras

Incumbent Noreen Poitras won her fourth term on the Westbrook School Committee on Tuesday, receiving 58% of the votes cast in the Ward 3 race with challenger Flynn Ross.

The vote was 721-532.

Poitras sought re-election with a focus on state funding of schools, pointing to the need for districts to be able to more accurately predict the amount of funding they will receive yearly.

A Democrat with a business background, Poitras works as an inventory specialist for a supply firm. She could not be reached for comment Wednesday before the American Journal deadline.
