Yorktown will have some new faces in the board room and behind the bench as of Jan. 1.
As of this posting at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, Yorktown Town Council candidate David Paganelli has pulled ahead with more than 85 percent of the districts reporting, and will replace Councilman Jim Martorano on the town board.
Paganelli was the top vote-getter Tuesday night.
"I am beyond myself with gratitude for my committee and friends and constituents who spoke and made this possible," he said Tuesday night. "May the best of our past be the worst of our future, looking ahead to my role guiding Yorktown through some difficult times."
Yorktown Councilman Nick Bianco keeps his seat on the board, and will serve another four years.
Town Justice candidate Gary Raniolo is currently edging Justice Ilan Gilbert by 8 percent.
But the big news tomorrow and perhaps in the weeks ahead will be who has won the town supervisor race. Michael Grace and Don Peters are neck-in-neck, and there is little doubt that one of the candidates will call for a recount. Susan Siegel had a strong showing, but will most likely hand the post over in January.
Alice Roker, who ran unopposed, will retain her position as town clerk.
In the county races, Legislators Michael Kaplowitz and John Testa both look likely to keep their seats.
