Stasia Powers is officially the 2nd woman SB member, ever

August 4, 2021 by Staff Writer

Newly elected Fairhaven Select Board member Stasia Powers won her seat on the Selectboard after a recall of Daniel Freitas succeeded in a special election on 7/26/21. In a weird twist of history, the first woman to serve on the Select Board was Ruth Galary, who beat Sam Freitas, Dan’s father, in 1991.
