NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The Grand Old Party is officially dead in New Rochelle after a Blue Wave swamped the Queen City on the Sound.
In what proved to be a high-turnout election despite only two contested Council seats, Democrats rolled over their Republican challengers.
New Rochelle Mayor Democrat Noam Bramson drubbed Republican challenger Brendan Conroy.
In District 1, newcomer Martha Lopez destroyed 12-year incumbent Lou Trangucci
In District 5, in the Battle of the Two Sara(h)s, Kaye dominated Langlois to replace the retiring Barry Fertel.
Yadira Ramos-Herbert won her first term in District 3 in an uncontested race to replace Jared Rice.
Al Tarantino (2), Ivar Hyden (4), and Liz Fried (6) ran uncontested.
The City Council will now have a 6-1 Democratic Party majority.
The seven-person City Council will also be majority women (Yadira Ramos-Herbert, Liz Fried, Sara Kaye, and Martha Lopez).
