Dixon Elected to Williamstown Select Board

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Shana Dixon said Tuesday night that she had a sense during the day that the Select Board election was going her way.
 
Not because of what people said to her, but because of what they did.
 
"You know what people [going into the polling place] did?" Dixon said after winning a 497-377 vote against incumbent Jane Patton. "A lot of people gave silent head shakes. A lot of people were very quiet about it. A lot of people were not trying to show any emotion or eye contact. But what they would do is they'd walk by and give a little [thumbs up] … so people couldn't see them acknowledging me.
 
"People are scared to really speak their minds. … I think people have been bullied in this community, whether it's seen or unseen, and I think they feel comfortable with me. They feel they can trust me. I'm a very approachable person, so that helps a lot of people just show their love.
 
"So I appreciate that."
 
Unofficially, 874 votes were cast, with 10 blank votes, from among the town's 4,677 registered voters, a 19 percent turnout.
 
That is up from 438 votes in 2024, when there were no contested races on the ballot.
