Former Yorktown Supervisor and Town Justice Lanny Gilbert was elected to the Yorktown Town Board after election night, once all of the early votes and paper ballots were tallied.
Gilbert, a Democrat, will join democrat Susan Siegel on the Town Board, which still will have a 3-2 republican majority.
Gilbert, 5559 votes, narrowly defeated republican councilwoman Luciana Haughwourt, 5442 votes.
Gilbert led all Yorktown democrats with the most votes in election 2025, and finished third overall to republican Supervisor Ed Lachterman, 5,970, and Councilman Sergio Esposito, with 6010 votes.
Days before the election, Gilbert reminded voters that I lost my 2015 election by just 8 votes, and Susan Siegel won her election last year by just 107 votes.
Gilbert’s win in Yorktown was part of a blue wave of democratic support across Westchester County for election 2025.
