Breaking: Illing Concedes to Robinson

Democratic candidate for town committee Kevin Illing conceded to Republican candidate and current mayor David Robinson soon after the unofficial election results put Robinson in a 956-vote lead on Tuesday night.

Even though at the time the mail-in votes had yet to be counted, the democrats held out little hope of catching up.

Robinson ended the night with a final unofficial vote count of 4,598 votes. Illing claimed 3,642.

The candidates shook hands outside the Garlic Rose shortly before 9 p.m.

"I hope to stay involved in my community," Illing later told Patch. "I wish him (Robinson) the best."

"We're going to continue to work just as hard," said Robinson. "It's great to be mayor."
