Newburgh supervisor race separated by just 15 votes

Democrat Stephen Krasner leads Republican Scott Manley by 15 votes in the race to be the next Newburgh town supervisor. According to unofficial totals posted by the Orange County Board of Elections on Nov. 4, Krasner had 5,991 votes while Manley had 5,976 votes. That means the race remains unsettled as absentee ballots are counted. Absentee ballots returned by mail must arrive at the board's office in Goshen by Nov. 10 in order to be counted. Krasner issued a statement after he was contacted by the Times Herald-Record on Nov. 4. "I am optimistic about how the final results will turn out, but it's important to allow the process to play out and ensure every vote is accurately counted before drawing conclusions," Krasner said in his statement. Krasner, a senior legal professional experienced in complex litigation, is making his third run for town supervisor. He previously ran unsuccessful campaigns in 2009 and 2011. He is opposed by Manley, a retired Town of Newburgh police sergeant who was first appointed a councilman on the Town Board in 2015. He was elected to the post later that year and has since been elected to two more four-year terms. What the candidates said:

Democrats extend rare run of control in Dutchess County Legislature

In 2025, Democrats took the majority in the Dutchess County Legislature, 15-10. That majority is poised to be held onto in 2027, with a slightly larger margin. According to unofficial results posted by the Dutchess County Board of Elections, the legislature will have a Democratic majority until the next even-year election in 2028. Before 2025, the Democrats last secured a majority in 2007, for a two-year period from 2008 to 2009 . Before that, Democrats had not controlled the legislature since 1977, according to Journal archives. Democratic candidates are poised to take 16 of the 25 district seats up for election this year. "Last night was a powerful reminder of what we accomplish when we vote, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who prioritized making their voice heard at the ballot box," said Yvette Valdés Smith, legislature majority leader, in a statement.

Valdés Smith said the legislature is committed to "delivering on affordability, better transit, housing, and strong, reliable county services that you count on every day."
