Stuart deCamp and Robert Moore

by Marianne Christy

In the second time in four years, Town of Webb voters will have to wait until absentee ballots are counted to determine the winners in races for supervisor and town council.

Unofficial results show that only two votes separate supervisor candidates Robert Moore and H. Stuart deCamp, with Moore receiving 395 votes (331 in Webb District 1 and 64 in District 2) to deCamp’s 393 (347 in Webb 1 and 46 in Webb 2.)

Barbara Green was the only clear unofficial winner in the race for two council seats having received 480 votes, 410 in Webb  and 70 in Webb 2.

David Berkstresser received 325 votes (263 in Webb 1 and 62 in Webb 2); George Hiltebrant received 295 votes (265 in Webb 1 and 30 in Webb 2); Bill Brooker had 294 votes (255 in Webb 1 and 39 in Webb 2); and James B. Herron had 175 votes (156 in Webb 1 and 19 in Webb 2.)

MaryAnn Nelson, a member of the Town of Webb Republican Committee, said these were the closest races she has seen in her 29 years on the committee.

A total of 825 voters went to the polls, 708 in District 1 and 117 in District 2. And according to Herkimer County Board of Elections Commissioner Louis P. Christie, 87 absentee ballots were sent out. The ballots need to be postmarked by November 2 and received by November 10 to be included in the count.

Review of absentee and affidavit ballots begin on Tuesday, November 17 with recanvassing of ballots beginning the following day.

Candidates for the remaining Webb offices ran unopposed. Town Clerk Nanci Russell received 683 votes (579 in Webb 1 and 104 in Webb 2) and Highway Superintendent Casey Crofut received 744 votes (632 in Webb 1 and 112 in Webb 2.)

Tax Collector Kelly Hunkins took 700 votes (599 in Webb 1 and 101 in Webb 2) and Town Justice John Graham received 669 votes (570 in Webb 1 and 99 in Webb 2.)

Herkimer County Legislator Patrick Russell, who represents District 15, locally received 641 votes, 544 in Webb 1 and 97 in Webb 2.

Christopher Farber will serve another term as Herkimer County Sheriff, winning both locally and county-wide.

He received 451 votes (376 in District 1 and 75 in District 2.) He was opposed by Timothy Klock who received 192 votes, (170 in Webb 1 and 22 in Webb 2) and Daniel Reardon with 82 votes (70 in Webb 1 and 12 in Webb 2.)
