Fish drew 3,323 votes on the Republican line and 449 on the Conservative line. Bennett’s 2,384 votes all came on the Democratic line. Voters cast 11 write-ins, and 126 Moreau ballots left the supervisor race blank. One ballot was an overvote.
Moreau voters also approved the Crandall Public Library District’s proposed 2027 budget of $6,186,608, which includes $893,362 raised from Moreau property owners, by 3,208 to 2,182. Beth J. Merrill won a seat as a library trustee without opposition.
