Phish's drummer has been elected to his Maine town's Board of Selectmen.
Jon Fishman will fill one of two open board seats on Lincolnville's five-seat board after winning Tuesday's nonpartisan election. He and his wife, Briar, have five children and have lived in the seaside town for the past decade.
Fishman will take a seat on the board alongside Josh Gerritsen, a filmmaker, who also was a top vote getter.
