Sudbury 2021 Election Results: Select Board, School Committee

SUDBURY, MA — Sudbury's 2021 unofficial election results are in, and it appears there will be a change in school leadership.

Newcomer Tyler Steffey was ahead in a three-way race for two seats on the Sudbury School Committee, putting challenger Mandy Sim in third place.

Steffey and Sim were vying for the seat being vacated by Lisa Kouchakdjian, who left the School Committee to run for Select Board. In that race, incumbents Janie Dretler and Daniel Carty were in the lead.

There was also an upset in a three-way race for two seats on the Goodnow Library board. Challenger Natalie Schlegel appears to have knocked off incumbent Marie Royea, according to the unofficial results.

Turnout in Monday's election was standard for a spring election: about 2,210 people voted, representing 16.10 percent of all registered voters in town.
