Barbour Defeats Guarino in Sagaponack Write-In Match

William Barbour bested incumbent Patrick Guarino on Friday in a write-in race for a seat on the Sagaponack Village Board.

Guarino failed to turn in his nominating petition on time and his name did not appear on the ballot, but he opted to campaign as a write-in candidate. However, Guarino received just 27 votes to Barbour's 68 write-ins.

Incumbent Joy Sieger, the only candidate named on the ballot, secured re-election with 76 votes.

There were also three write-in votes for Paul Brennan and two for Michael Davis.

Sieger and Barbour will serve two-year terms.
