In , nine of the 12 candidates on the Town Council ballot were elected to a seat with every incumbent returning.

"I'm glad everyone made it back because we're in the middle of a lot of stuff so we'll be able to keep moving forward," said Al Rose, who was voted deputy mayor. "I'm humbled to have ended up deputy mayor."

Anthony Candelora was re-elected for his second term as mayor.

"I am honored to be mayor another term," said Candelora. "I would like to thank all the residents and I am very proud to serve with the same council. We will have great continuity and look forward to rolling up my sleeves and get to work on the budget taxes and working with the BOE."
