A manual recount confirmed the results of a tight Penn Yan mayoral race, making Patricia Christensen the village’s next mayor, according to the Finger Lakes Times. Christensen defeated incumbent Dan Condella by just three votes, 179-176, with no changes after the recount.
She will begin her four-year term April 1. Christensen currently serves as Yates County treasurer and has held multiple local government roles, including longtime town clerk in Milo.
The election also filled three Village Council seats, with Ron Dailey, Teresa Hoban, and Bob Craig earning the most votes in a competitive field.
