Hillsborough welcomed a new mayor while re-electing all three incumbents to the town’s Board of Commissioners on Tuesday.

Hillsborough residents elected Jenn Weaver as their new mayor on Tuesday night, as she ran unopposed for the position. The former commissioner will replace long-time mayor Tom Stevens, who decided not to run for re-election after 14 years in office.

The Board of Commissioners race had three seats open for election on Tuesday. Incumbents Mark Bell, Matt Hughes, and Evelyn Lloyd reclaimed their positions. Hughes finished with the most votes at 30.3 percent. Bell and Lloyd finished with 28.5 percent and 28.1 percent, respectively. Kevin Mason, the lone challenger, finished with 12.3 percent of the vote.

Lloyd, who has served on the town’s Board of Commissioners for 28 years, will serve her eighth term, with Bell serving his second. Hughes will serve his first elected term after being appointed in 2018 to replace a vacancy on the board.

The Town of Hillsborough is still searching for applicants to fill Mayor-elect Weaver’s seat on the Board of Commissioners. With two years left on its term, the seat was not up for election on Tuesday night. Hillsborough will be taking applicants from qualified town residents through Friday November 8.
