Democrat Andrae Evans will be the new Irondequoit town supervisor come Jan. 1, after he bested first-term Republican incumbent Supervisor Rory Fitzpatrick on Tuesday.
The political newcomer won with 52% of the vote. With the win, Democrats retook the seat they had held for much of the past decade. Democrats also retained full control of the Town Council.
The supervisor race was among the most watched among dozens of Monroe County town races, most of which were uncontested.
Town board races in Pittsford and Penfield remained too close to call. Each town had two seats up for grabs. In Pittsford, the final results will determine whether Democrats gain a seat — and a majority — on the town board. In Penfield, it will determine whether Democrats take one or two town board seats.
A Monroe County Board of Elections spokesperson says whether these races are headed to a recount won’t be decided until later this month. First, the office needs to count any remaining absentee ballots that arrive as well as affidavit ballots, which could swing the results.
In Pittsford, sitting Democrat Cathy Koshykar won one of those seats, but incumbent Republican Kate Bohne Munzinger leads Democratic challenger Naveen Havannavar by seven votes.
In Penfield, Democrat Linda Teglash became the first Democrat to win a seat on the town board since 1983. But Democrat Kevin Berry leads Republican AJ Hetzke Jr. by a single vote.
