Unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections are now showing results from all 37 districts in Cortlandt, and the numbers in some races are extremely close.
In contested Cortlandt elections, Debbie Costello-Carter (D) and Seth Freach (D) took 26-percent (4,233) and 21-percent (3,567), respectively, of the votes for town board. The four other candidates were Theresa Knickerbocker (R, C, I) with 21-percent (3,460), John Lentini (C) with 18-percent (2,960), Domenic Volpe (I, WF) with 11-percent (1,860) and Brian Pugh (WF) with 3-percent (524).
Carter-Costello said in a statement she is "humbled and excited by the trust" voters placed in her.
"With such an extremely close election in both the primary and general election for town council, I am very proud of the incredible efforts of everyone who contributed their time and their skills to our ground operation which was the key factor to our success," John McBride, Chair of the Cortlandt Democratic Committee, said.
Incumbent town justice Gerry Klein (R, I, C) secured 53-percent (4,591) of the votes, while challenger Shari Gordon (D, WF) took 47-percent (4,062).
Unofficial results from several districts in Cortlandt were missing Tuesday and Wednesday.
