Democrats Maintain Control of Town Council, Board of Education

With just more than 18 percent of registered voters turning out to polling places Tuesday, Democrats on the town council and school board maintained control.

Vote tallies are currently unofficial, according to Town Clerk Agnes Pier, who said there may be a possibility of a recount, as she left Town Hall's polling location to call the Secretary of State.

According to Pier, close vote tallies between Republican town council candidates Ron Eleveld and Lisa Boccia (separated by four votes) and Republican board of education members Kristin Ingram and Patricia DiGiore (separated by 14 votes) will require the candidate with fewer votes to concede or call for a recount.

As the votes currently stand, Don Trinks will remain Mayor of Windsor, earning 2,209 votes and Ron Eleveld would lose the race and his seat on the council.

Donald Jepsen received the most votes among Republican candidates for council with 1,684.

On the school board, current president Milo "Rusty" Peck was the top vote-getter, and Kristin Ingram would lose her seat after serving on the board as the replacement to former board member David Gay.

Current minority leader Paul Panos received the most votes of Republican candidates for the board with 1,651.

The three constable seats will be filled by top vote-getter Vivian Cicero (D), Ina Forman (D) and David Gillette (R).
