Two incumbent members of the New Bedford School Committee easily won re-election on Tuesday.

Bruce Oliveira and Jack Livramento were returned to the school board, along with newcomer and New Bedford Police Officer Chris Cotter.

During his campaign, Cotter said he would raise questions when necessary, and seek more dialogue on the issues.

"I'm not going to hold back, and I do believe we need to have that dialogue, positive and negative so everyone can hear what everybody has to say, and not just agree to agree, said Cotter.

Cotter says his first responsibility is getting up to speed on the issues facing the School Committee
