City Council Race Too Close to Call

The tally is unofficial, but more than 24 hours after the polls closed, Lori Fontanes, the Democratic candidate, held a slim lead over Matt Fahey, an Independent who ran on the Republican line. Fontanes, a first-time candidate, garnered 3,155 votes, and Fahey, a former Rye City Councilman, had 3,039.

According to representatives from both parties, there are still some 700 absentee ballots to be counted. The final tally may not be available until next week.
