Democrats flipped the Southold town supervisor’s seat but the Shelter Island town supervisor election results were too close to call after voters elected new town leaders across all five East End towns amid historic turnover.
Suffolk County Legislator Al Krupski (D-Cutchogue) won the race to replace outgoing Republican Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell. Arnott Gooding, the Democratic Shelter Island Town supervisor candidate, declined to concede and Republican Shelter Island Councilwoman Amber Bach-Williams did not declare victory in a race in which she’s leading by less than 50 votes and will be decided by absentee ballots.
