Suffolk County Republican Party Chairman Harry Withers took the stage a few minutes ago to announce to the crowd that while the GOP failed to gain control of the Legislature, they have managed to make the Brookhaven town board Republican once again, now with a 4-3 majority there.

Brookhaven 5th council district winner Timothy Mazzei then took the stage to thank all the party’s supporters and noted “it’s much more fun to be in the majority.

Despite Robert DiCarlo’s loss in the race for Supervisor, the GOP here maintains they have gained ground in Brookhaven and many believe the county will be next.
