Challenger Declares ‘Super’ Victory

John Mangelli, the Democratic challenger for Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor, declared victory over 18-year Republican incumbent John Venditto early this morning-but Venditto says the results are too close to call.

According to published reports, Mangelli currently holds a lead of less than 100 votes. If the results stand, Mangelli will be the only Democrat on the town board.

But the Nassau Board of Elections will not declare a winner until absentee ballots are counted.

In another closely watched race, Acting District Attorney Madeline Singas defeated Republican challenger Kate Murray, 58 to 42 percent.
