All four top office incumbents won today -- Mayor Boughton, Treasurer Dan Jowdy, City Clerk Jean Natale, and Town Clerk Lori Kaback. Boughton won by over 3,500 votes. No real unofficial numbers have been released on the other top races.
The Common Council will stay in Republican control. The biggest news here is that Lynn Taborsak did not win in the third ward. Republican incumbents won wards one, two, three, and seven. Wards four, five, and six went to the incumbent Democrats. It appears as though Republicans won at least six out of the seven Council at Large seats. The last seat is to close to call.
The bottom line here is that the Republicans had a very strong showing, and did very well considering the attacks by the Democrats in the final weeks. Much more to come. Even though the election is over, it doesn't mean our coverage is. Check back later to see more.
