Nolan and Obersheimer Win Selectboard Seats as Callahan Leads Assessors Race in Milton

Milton held its annual town election on Tuesday, tallying votes for multiple local offices. Unofficial results released shortly after polls closed show a clear split among the top contests, with incumbents and newcomers alike vying for positions that shape town governance.

The Selectboard, the town’s executive body, will now include Nolan and Obersheimer. Nolan led the race with 2,670 votes, edging out fellow winner Obersheimer, who received 2,543. Their nearest competitors, Kevin Chrisolm (2,517) and Roxanne Musto (2,478), fell short, leaving the board with fresh representation.

In the Board of Assessors race, Thomas Callahan secured a decisive victory, earning 2,742 votes. His opponent, Warren Lizio, garnered 2,095, marking a margin of 647 votes. The assessors board oversees property valuation for tax purposes, making Callahan’s win significant for future revenue calculations.

The one‑year School Committee seat went to Sharese Latisha Caldwell, who collected 2,592 votes against Daniel Matthew O’Neil’s 2,463. The committee advises on local education policy, and Caldwell’s narrow win suggests a competitive environment for school governance.

Other contests concluded with clear outcomes: Deborah Milbauer defeated Roxanne Musto for the Board of Health (2,716 to 2,619). Library trustees Kristine Hodlin, Ellen Williams Fisher, and John Walsh Folcarelli secured seats with 2,631, 2,572, and 1,864 votes respectively. The Planning Board saw Peter Munger and Cheryl Friedman Tougias each receive 2,986 votes, while Lindsey Sands earned 2,361.

These results reshape Milton’s local leadership landscape. The new Selectboard members will join existing officials in setting policy on budgeting, public works, and community initiatives. Callahan’s control of the Assessors board may influence property tax assessments ahead of the next fiscal cycle. Caldwell’s addition to the School Committee could affect decisions on curriculum and school budgeting.

Watch for the town’s first board meetings under the new composition, where policy directions and budget proposals will reveal how these election outcomes translate into action.
