Whelan Wins Saco Mayoral Race Narrowly in 36th Year
Dr. Whelan edged Democrat Frank M. Jones by 217 votes 1925 to 1708 in the closest Saco mayoral contest in 36 years. Republicans held city council and school panel control while voters rejected a 45000 bond to convert the former Dyer library to a police station. Ward-by-ward results showed Republicans and Democrats trading gains across seven wards, with recounts in Ward 7 before Bryce Milne secured reelection by 12.
