MAMAKATING — Mamakating residents made their voices heard Tuesday as they exercised their electoral muscle at various polling places throughout the day. Cross-Endorsed Democratic/Conservative candidate and current Deputy Supervisor Peter Goodman secured his ‘good win’ as he amassed 1,399 votes to become the new Town of Mamakating Supervisor. As Goodman vacates his current Ward 1 Councilman position, current Supervisor and Republican/Conservative cross-endorsed candidate Michael Robbins plans to step down and continue to keep that seat warm on the Town Board, assuming his new Ward 1 Councilman position with 228 votes under his belt. The race for Ward 3 Council Member between cross-endorsed Democratic/Conservative candidate Matthew Mordas and cross-endorsed Republican/Mamakating First candidate Dino Orfanos concluded with Mordas nailing a comfortable win with 209 votes to Orfanos’s 150.
