Elected Officials

Overview

The City of Westbrook is divided into five Wards, each of which has a designated City Councilor, School Committee Member, Warden and Ward Clerk. In addition to this, we have several municipal officials who represent the City as a whole, including the Mayor, two At-Large City Councilors and two At-Large School Committee Members. Each of these positions has a 3-year term.

The State of Maine's Voter Information Lookup Service is a great resource to find your polling place and contact information for all of your elected representatives.
