Clavin Handly Wins 3rd Supervisor Term In Hempstead

LONG BEACH, NY — Don Clavin had a successful Election Night. The incumbent won his re-election as Town of Hempstead Supervisor, according to unofficial results from the Nassau Board of Elections.

Clavin, first elected to the position in 2019, beat Uniondale's Olena Nicks in a landslide, 65 percent to 35 percent, with all 100 precincts in.

"I am blessed with the opportunity to serve the residents of the Town of Hempstead for another term as Town Supervisor. I am thankful for the confidence voters have placed in me, and I will continue to work to provide tax relief to homeowners," Clavin said on social media. "At the same time, I will protect the suburban character of our communities and will work with the police for safe neighborhoods."

Former Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray was victorious seeking another term as Town Clerk. She received 63 percent of the vote.

In Long Beach, it appears the two incumbents in the city council race have gone down to defeat in a tight race. The top three vote-getters won Tuesday night: Republicans Brendan Finn (4,144 votes), Christopher Fiumara (4,010) and Michael Reinhart (3,977), with all 24 Long Beach precincts in. Democrats Tina Posterli (3,365) and Liz Treston (3,335) came up short, according to results from the BOE.

The 4th Legislative District saw two new candidates vie for the seat as Republican Patrick Mullaney defeated Long Beach's Alexis Pace with 60 percent of the vote.
