Two longtime Village of Greenport trustees won re-election over three challengers on March 18 following a campaign in which the candidates focused on the need for more affordable housing in the community.
Trustee Mary Bess Phillips, who is in the commercial fishing industry, was the top vote getter with 150 ballots cast for her to win her sixth four-year term on the Greenport Pride party line. Trustee Julia Robins, a veteran of the real estate industry, won her fifth term on the Greenport United line with 135 votes.
