CAMPBELL, BADDOUR RE-ELECTED

The majority of Methuen voters in the Nov. 2 election backed the two local Democratic incumbents.
State Rep. Linda Dean Campbell was re-elected to her 15th Essex District seat with 7,031 votes. She was followed by Al DiNuccio with 5,104, Phil Lahey with 1,185 and Hector Montalvo with 166. This will be her third term as Methuen's state rep.
State Sen. Steven Baddour also retains his seat. He received 9,299 nods from Methuen voters while his opponent Stephen Cole garnered 5,345 votes. The 1st Essex District includes Methuen, Amesbury, Haverhill, Merrimac, Newburyport, North Andover and Salisbury, and the overall vote tally was 34,408 for Baddour vs. 23,917 for Cole. Cole essentially ended his campaign bid in September, citing health problems, but his name still appeared on the ballot.
