In a stunning turn of events, Democratic challenger Laura Gillen has declared victory over incumbent Republican Anthony Santino to take the supervisor seat for the Town of Hempstead.

As of midnight, with all of the precincts reporting in, Gillen led Santino 80,214 votes to 77,946 in unofficial results. If the results stand, it would be the first time in history that a Democrat has led the Town of Hempstead.

The town clerk seat also seemed to flip, with Republican incumbent Nasrin Ahmad trailing Democratic challenger Sylvia Cabana 76,643 to 74,331.
