     Congratulations to our local incumbents who swept the local districts with votes of confidence. Hard work reaps its just rewards. They have worked hard to bring recognition and increased improvements to the Rockaways, although there is still a great deal to be done.

Short Takes 1118
     The local election results prove once again how tough it is to beat an incumbent. All of the incumbents were returned to office, most of them with pluralities well over 70 percent.
