Brookline election results: Aschkenasy and Greene win Select Board seats

Wicked Local The results are in: Bernard Greene will serve another term as Brookline Select Board member, joined by newcomer Dr. Miriam Aschkenasy. Aschkenasy will succeed incumbent Nancy Heller, who was not re-elected Tuesday. Aschkenasy led the pack with 3,518 votes, followed by Greene with 3,315, Heller with 3,171, Zoe Lynn with 2,731 and Donelle O'Neal with 915. Brookline saw slightly higher voter turnout this year than in 2020, with 7,453 of the town's 39,790 registered voters — 18.73% — either heading to the polls or mailing in a ballot. Last year's turnout was 17.5%.  Heller and Greene, the current Select Board chair, have both served on the board since 2015. They met with stiff competition in their campaigns for re-election, especially after the Gerald Alston discrimination case once again made headlines just a week before the election. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the town had unjustly fired Alston, a Brookline firefighter, after he reported racism in the workplace; Greene and Heller both voted to fire Alston and continue appealing his case against the town.
