Town of Pelham voters reelected the three Democratic incumbents who faced competitive elections Tuesday, giving Kristen Burke and Maura Curtin new four-year terms on the Pelham Town Council and Adam Kagan another four years as town justice, according to unofficial tallies posted on the Westchester County Board of Elections website at 12:38 a.m. on Wednesday.
GOP newcomer Clive Anderson lost in his bid for one of the two open town council seats, while John De Chiaro, a Republican who served two terms as town judge through 2019, failed in his campaign to return to the town bench.
Burke, Curtin and Kagan will all be serving second terms.
In the race for District 11 Westchester County legislator, Democratic incumbent Terry Clements defeated GOP challenger and Pelham resident John Hynes.
In a concession statement Wednesday, Anderson said, “First and foremost, I want to extend my congratulations to Kristen Burke, Maura Curtin and Adam Kagan on their victory and thank them for their dedication and commitment to Pelham. However, my utmost gratitude goes to each and every one of you who took the time to cast your vote. Your participation in the democratic process is a powerful reminder of the strength and influence we hold as voters.”
