Jacob Soucy won a second three-year term on the Chelsea Selectboard Tuesday, unofficial results show.

Jacob Soucy, 38, the vice chair of the board, received 389 votes, while state Rep. Michael Lemelin received 246 votes. Thirty-two voters left their ballot blank.

Soucy said he hoped to reform Chelsea’s budgeting process. This year, budget deliberations were “an absolute joke,” he said.

“We only meet once a month, and I recommend we meet every two weeks — it gives you that extra time rather than jamming the whole month into one meeting,” he said before the election. “If we had the extra time, we could find an item we want to really tackle. As increases keep coming in, you have to somehow somewhere balance out the shock of that increase. I feel if we, as a board, better worked on things, we could really help the town, and it just feels like we’re not doing that right now. It’s frustrating.”

Soucy, a lifelong resident of Chelsea, said he hopes to bring more residents to public meetings and take proactive action on an upcoming property tax revaluation — a process that is expected to shift more tax burden onto homeowners.

In a Facebook post Tuesday evening, Soucy claimed victory.

“Thank you Chelsea for believing in me, we have a victory,” he wrote. “Loud win and a big win!”

Lemelin, a Republican state lawmaker who was censured following comments linking the Lewiston mass shooting to God’s punishment for Maine’s abortion laws, did not respond to a Maine Trust for Local News questionnaire about his priorities in the race. He also did not respond to subsequent requests.
