Mount Kisco Village Board: Early Election Results

MOUNT KISCO, NY — The polls have closed and the time for campaigning is done. Voters in Mount Kisco weighed in on the contested race for two seats on the village Board of Trustees.

Here are the latest unofficial results of Election Day 2024, according to the Westchester County Board of Elections.

Village Trustee Karen Schleimer (D) is seeking an eighth term. Thomas Luzio is the chair of the village’s Democratic Committee. They are not campaigning together. According to The Examiner, Schlemer quit the Democratic Committee in September, citing lack of support or concern for local issues. Luzio said the committee paid attention to both local and regional issues for the benefit of the village, and accused Schleimer of not supporting two of its projects.

Diaz and Mullen are this year’s slate from the Village Inclusive Party, headed by Mayor Michael Cindrich, which swept last year’s election over the Democrats. SEE: 'VIP' Party Running Mates Stun Mount Kisco Dems On Election Night

A small controversy arose in late October, according to The Examiner, when Diaz called Luzio out for a college-era photo he posted on Facebook more than two years ago. A poli-sci major, Luzio had made a sign “Death to Political Science” with a swastika.

Luzio apologized, but Diaz called on him to suspend his campaign. Neither Schleimer nor Mullen weighed in.

At 11:30 p.m. on Election Night, with four districts out of seven reporting, Schleimer had 35 percent of the vote. Luzio held 32 percent. Diaz had 18 percent of the vote and Mullen had 15 percent, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections.
