With nearly all votes counted in the City of Glen Cove, Pam Panzenbeck is expected to secure reelection for a third term as mayor. She is projected to receive 56.42% of the vote, running against Democratic candidate Marsha Silverman, according to the Nassau County Board of Elections totals.
Although the mayoral race leans toward Panzenbeck, the city council election appears to remain evenly divided. Despite earlier forecasts favoring Republicans with a 4-2 majority, the council is now projected to have an equal split of three Democrats and three Republicans.
Both parties acknowledged on Tuesday night that absentee ballots would likely be trickling in and that the vote totals had not yet been made official.
Silverman’s defeat was offset by this council balance, offering Democrats a modest success in the city elections.
Author's summary: Pam Panzenbeck is on track for a third mayoral term while Glen Cove’s city council remains evenly split, reflecting a balanced political landscape despite initial predictions.
