Pamela D. Panzenbeck won re-election as mayor of Glen Cove, securing a third term with 51.75 percent of the vote. She received a combined total of 3,812 votes on the Republican and Conservative party lines. Challenger Marsha Silverman, running on the Democratic and Moderate party lines, earned 2,934 votes, or 43.42 percent. With all 18 precincts reporting, 6,756 votes were cast in the mayoral race.
"I'm very glad the people have recognized my efforts, " Panzenbeck said at the knights of Columbus in Glen Cove. " I'm happy to keep that momentum going."
Panzenbeck, a Republican and lifelong Glen Cove resident, formerly taught business and computer education in public schools for 34 years.
She served three terms on the City Council before first being elected mayor in 2021.
Her mayoral campaign emphasized the accomplishments of her administration — including restoring fiscal health, improving municipal facilities and advancing infrastructure and public-space projects.
Voters selected six council members from a crowded field. With all 18 precincts reporting, Democratic candidates Danielle Fugazy Scagliola, John Frank Zozzaro, and John L. Perrone led the vote totals, followed by Republicans Grady M. Farnan, Kevin P. Maccarone, and Michael I. Ktistakis. Fugazy Scagliola received the highest number of votes with 3,583, or 9.37 percent of the total 38,236 ballots cast across all candidates. The results indicate a split council, with three Democrats and three Republicans earning seats.
"I want to keep representing then people to the best of my ability," Fugazy Scagliola said. "I want to continue working on the things I've been working on like revitalizing our downtown and improving our train. "
The mayoral contest addressed issues such as municipal fiscal management, infrastructure upgrades, park renovations and waterfront redevelopment. Panzenbeck has overseen improvements to municipal buildings, recreational facilities and water infrastructure during her time in office.
With certification of results expected in the coming days, Panzenbeck will begin her new term in January 2026. Her term will focus on the 2026 budget, ongoing infrastructure work including road, drainage and waterfront projects, and maintaining continuity in municipal operations.
