Nancy Adams, who teamed with challenger Lester Lewis-Powder in her first run for elective office, came within about 28 votes of unseating Leventhal in a campaign she said focused on maintaining the community’s character in the face of development. “As a novice, I never thought it would be as close as it was,” Adams said. “With (being) 28 votes from a 2 1/2 year incumbent with the Essex County machine behind her, it was actually reaffirming.” They willl face Republican Bartholomew Albini in the November general election.

Are the absentees counted? Is it a conflict of interest for the county clerk to be on team K & K?
