Following two years with a slim Democratic majority, the Smithfield School Committee switched back to 3-2 Republican control following the recount of the Nov. 6 election.

When the next Rhode Island House of Representatives session opens in January, Smithfield's delegation will represent the spectrum of experience, with one new member and a 10-term incumbent.

President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan.
