A Freedom Select Board member who was ousted from her seat last year lost her bid to win it back in a three-way race, Friday.
Kory Boulier won the seat with 92 votes, to 79 for Heather Donahue and 14 for Matthew Grotton Jr.
Donahue, a former actor who starred in the influential horror film “The Blair Witch Project,” was elected to the Freedom Select Board after she moved to the Waldo County town in 2022.
She was recalled from office last year, after she used spray paint to mark trees on Beaver Ridge Road, which the town has asserted is a public road.
Donahue, who lives on the road, said she was surveying it in her role as an elected official. But critics argued that the act exceeded her authority.
Freedom voters on Friday also re-elected longtime town official Cynthia Abbott to single-year terms as clerk, treasurer and excise tax collector. She ran unopposed for all three positions.
