What happened in the village elections? See results from Atlantic Beach, Lawrence, Hewlett Harbors and others

Village Election Night was full of surprises as there is a tie between two candidates for a trustee seat and a couple of write-in candidates won on Tuesday.

The new Lawrence mayor will be Samuel Nahmias over Paris Popack by a count of 889 to 864.Trustee candidates Aaron Felder and Steve Gottesman received 1,301 and 1,327 votes, respectively. Village Justice Gary Mandel (1,051) was re-elected to another four-year term.

Nahmias, chairman of the Nassau County Bridge Authority board, focused his campaign on what he called “responsible governance” and “community well-being,” and will aim to balance the village budget, repair streetlights and undertake a cycle of road repairs.

"It was a very hard fought election," Nahmias said. "At the end of the dau, I'm going to run the village fiscally responsibly."

In Atlantic Beach, incumbent Trustee Ed Sullivan and newcomer Anthony Livreri are tied with 214 votes. Both ran on the same slate. Another newcomer, Barry Frohlinger captured one of the board seats with 274 votes, four less than sitting Mayor George Pappas received.

“I’m excited for all the people who helped me out, I couldn’t have done this without probably 15 or 20 people and my wife, but lots of people helped me out,” Frohlinger said.

He ran on a platform of putting out timely information concerning the village’s financial situation for the residents and to create improved financial literacy within the board.

The Livreri and Sullivan ballots will move to the Nassau County Board of Elections for a recount and then a possible re-vote.
