Last Friday, Bob Livsey was busy getting ready for this week’s Town Board meeting, where he and his fellow board members were set to adopt a town budget. The election, just four days past, was behind him.

Livsey earned 1342 votes on November 2, giving him the supervisor’s job until December 31, 2028. He nabbed that 81.43 percent of the vote, he believes, because residents of the town know that he will continue to work for them.

“You will continue to have good service as long as I am in office,” he promised.

Livsey’s challenger in the race came in the form of another Fort Montgomery resident, Pete Kinney, who earned 306 votes (18.57 percent) in the election.

Livsey thanked those who supported him in the election, including the town’s Democratic Committee and his family. He also thanked the Town Board for their continued hard work for the community. He urged all who have issues – concerns or complaints – to reach out to him or any board member. “I’m always available, whether I’m at Town Hall, or elsewhere,” Livsey said.

In other local election results, in Orange County, re-elected were Congressman Pat Ryan (60.36 percent of the vote); Governor Kathy Hochul (54.59 percent of the vote); NYS Senator James Skoufis (60.32 percent); NYS Assemblyman Chris Eachus (68.17 percent); and Orange County Sheriff Paul Arteta (52.07 percent of the vote).
