Greenwich 2017 Election: Tesei, Toner, Tarkington, Bernstein Win

First Selectman Peter Tesei and running mate John Toner both won re-election, and Tesei's challenger Sandy Litvack is joining them.

GREENWICH, CT — Incumbent Republican Peter Tesei (7,110 votes) defeated Democrat Sandy Litvack (6,040) Tuesday to retain the Greenwich First Selectman's seat, and incumbent Republican John Toner (7,167) also won re-election as a Selectman, according to unofficial results from the Greenwich Registrar of Voters office.

Democratic Incumbent Drew Marzullo (4,439 votes), who is facing a larceny charge from an alleged shoplifting incident, lost his re-election bid by receiving fewer votes than Toner and Litvack, both of whom will serve as Selectmen under Tesei.

For the Board of Education, Democrats Kathleen Jordan Stowe and Meghan E. Olsson were victorious, as were Republicans Peter D. Bernstein and Peter Sherr. Jason Auerbach garnered the fewest votes and lost his bid for a seat on the board.
