MADISON — Campaigning as a team, Nicole Nordlund and Joe Dame earned the two Madison selectmen's seats up for grabs in Tuesday's election, besting Charlie Allen and board chair Adam Price.
Nordlund had served on the board since September after being appointed to serve the remainder of departing selectman Rick Judkins' term.
