Maybury, Republicans Coast to Re-election Wins in Mt. Pleasant
The anger expressed in polls by Americans against incumbents has apparently not filtered down to Mount Pleasant.
Republican Supervisor Joan Maybury and fellow GOP-Conservative Party town board incumbents Carl Fulgenzi and Mark Rubeo were overwhelmingly re-elected Tuesday night.
According to the Westchester County Board of Elections, with 93 percent of the districts reporting, Maybury, was leading her opponent, Dr. Richard Gagliardi, a registered Republican running on the independent We the People line, by a nearly 3-1 margin. Maybury was appointed to supervisor in January 2010 to replace Robert Meehan, who became Westchester County attorney. She will be serving her first full term in the position. She had spent 16 years as a councilwoman.
Rubeo, received 43 percent of the vote and Fulgenzi received 39 percent. Jane Abbate, a registered independent running on the Mount Pleasant Now line, received 18 percent of the vote in her first try for elected office.
