Fairport mayor candidates react to write-in lead | Exclusive

More write-in votes were cast in the Fairport mayor's race than votes for the only candidate whose name appeared on the ballot, according to unofficial Election Day results. It’s still too early to know exactly what the outcome means, but village Trustee Tracy Briggs mounted a prominent write-in campaign after losing the Democratic primary in June. The margin in unofficial results was 1,319 write-in votes to 1,252 votes for Heidi Woika, running on the Democratic and Working Families lines. On Nov. 4, Briggs said she was feeling good about the fact she was leading and likely to win the race, though the results won’t be certified until later this month. “I just feel overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for this opportunity to serve the residents and merchants of the village,” Briggs said. “As I said the other day, this really was a community effort, and people came out and were very brave and courageous and engaged.” Election night was difficult, Woika said, but she was quick to praise her team and the Democratic candidates running for village trustee. “It’s been tough the past 48 hours,” she said.
