Voters in Westchester County's 1st Legislative District decided who would represent them on the county Board of Legislators in the Tuesday, Nov. 3, election between incumbent Colin Smith and challenger Elena Muniz-Walker.
Smith received 7,763 votes, or 67.92 percent, compared with 3,658 votes, or 32 percent, for Muniz-Walker, with 9 write-in votes, or 0.08 percent, according to unofficial election results as of 11:57 a.m. Wednesday. All 50 election districts in the race had only partially reported results. A significant number of emergency paper ballots cast on Election Day remained uncounted, and the results were subject to change as additional ballots were tabulated.
Smith, a Peekskill native, attorney and small-business owner, sought a fourth term representing District 1 on the Westchester County Board of Legislators.
A graduate of Peekskill High School, Cedarville University and Pace Law School, Smith began his legal career as a Bronx assistant district attorney before opening his own law practice in Peekskill.
His public service includes serving as vice president and president of the Peekskill Board of Education and as a member of the Peekskill Common Council. On the county board, he chairs the Committee on Legislation and the Affordability and Economic Development Task Force.
