The good news for Brookhaven Democrats: Brian Foley won a second term as the town’s supervisor. It was a tough race against Republican Robert DiCarlo, who grabbed 46 percent of the vote.
But there’s some big bad news. The Democrats lost the majority on the town board.
Brookhaven Republican Committee Chairman Jesse Garcia called it a “Wonderful victory for taxpayers and homeowners.” He said the victories were a response to Republicans’ focus on overcrowding and illegal immigrants. “We came through and voters responded to that message,” Garcia said.
