SWANSEA — The town elected Michael Beaudette to the Board of Selectmen on Monday. 

Beaudette, a building industry manager with no previous experience in town government, received 1,070 votes, beating out Joyce Moore (963 votes), Mark Shane (959 votes) and Randy Lebeau (106 votes), according to unofficial results. 

The town clerk’s office said 3,180 votes were cast; nine write-in ballots were cast, and 73 ballots were blank. 

Beaudette is a fresh face on the board after selectman Christopher Carreiro opted not to run for re-election. Carreiro, who joined the board in 2015, has set his sights on the race for Bristol County Register of Deeds’ Fall River District.
