Democratic Incumbents Win Hastings-on-Hudson Election

Mayor Peter Swiderski and Trustees Bruce Jennings and Meg Walker are the winning candidates in the Hastings-on-Hudson Village election. The incumbents were running uncontested, since no independent or additional party candidates filed to run in the election. 

Out of 132 total voters—Swiderski received 98 votes; Jennings got 92, while Walker received 89 votes. 

“It was a very quiet election,” said Susan Maggiotto, deputy village manager and village clerk.

Magiotto believes it may have been the lowest voter turnout in recent memory, however she wasn’t able to confirm this for sure offhand Tuesday night. According to Maggiotto, two years ago there was an uncontested election with three candidates that received a total 184 voters.

Write-in candidates for the mayoral seat include Eugene Calamari with six votes and Patrick Randolph Bell with two votes. Write-in candidates for trustee include Michelle Porter with 20 votes, Marvin Winn with two votes, Ann Scholl with one votes and Patrick Randolph Bell with one vote.
