A write-in campaign organized by incumbent Lewis Supervisor Anthony Glebus, a Republican, didn't overcome Republican David Blades, who won, 299 to 101.

In Elizabethtown, Republican Noel Merrihew III beat off a challenge from Democrat Joseph Martin, 248 to 177.

In Newcomb, incumbent Republican Supervisor George Canon bested Democrat Eleanor Yandon, 181 to 64. Yandon couldn't have served if elected because of a federal Hatch Act ruling that part of the salary from her job with Sunmount Developmental Services was paid from federal funds.

Here's a look at unofficial results from uncontested supervisor races in Essex County: Chesterfield, Gerald Morrow (D-I), 593; Crown Point, Dale French (R), 126; Essex, Ronald Jackson (R-I), 80; Keene, William Ferebee (R-I), 305; Moriah, Thomas Scozzafava (R-I), 515; North Hudson, Robert Dobie (D), 84; Schroon, Catherine Moses (R-I), 473; Ticonderoga, Robert C. Dedrick (R), 936; and Westport, Daniel Connell (D-I), 173.

CLINTON COUNTY

In the Area 1 Clinton County Legislature race, Harry McManus took the seat over Champlain Town Supervisor Larry Barcomb, 1,174 to 784.

The two men had been vying for Celine Paquette's seat after the 12-year legislator announced in late May that she wouldn't be seeking re-election.

Both men focused their campaign platform on trying to keep taxes and spending down while enhancing area development.

"I'm glad for all the support, and I thank everyone who has worked so hard for me," Barcomb said after congratulating McManus on the win.

"We fought hard, but we didn't win. But that's life. I had a great team working for me, and I'm just glad for all of the support I had."

McManus said he looks forward to working with Barcomb as he serves as county legislator.

"The most gratifying part is that I had so much support in each of the three communities (Rouses Point, Champlain and Mooers)," McManus said. "I'm very pleased."

In other County Legislature races, Incumbent Keith Defayette (D,R,C,I,WF) held his Area 5 seat with a landslide victory over challenger Willard "Bill" Todd (I), 1,271 to 236.

Legislator Jackie Walker (D,I) will continue representing Area 8 after a 863-530 win over current Plattsburgh City Councilor Michael Drew (R,C).

John Gallagher (D,WF) kept his Area 9 seat with a 578-372 win over Anne-Marie Farrell (R,C,I).
