Democrats held onto the supervisor’s offices in Lloyd, Marlborough and Plattekill in this month’s local elections, with incumbents Stu Weiss, Scott Corcoran and Michael Lembo defeating their Republican challengers.

In Lloyd, incumbent Democrat Stu Weiss defeated Republican Dave Plavchak, 1,268-752, earning another term as town supervisor.

Weiss said he had hoped for a wider margin but was pleased with the outcome.
“I was hoping for a bigger spread, but I’ll take whatever I can get,” he said.

Looking ahead, Weiss said one of his priorities will be stabilizing the town’s Water and Sewer Department to ensure reliable water service and wastewater operations.

He also wants to address infrastructure improvements that he said have been neglected for years, including upgrades at the wastewater treatment plant.

Weiss said he intends to pursue grants for practical infrastructure projects, particularly those involving water and sewer systems, rather than focusing primarily on recreational improvements.

Another priority is streamlining the town’s payroll system. Weiss said new software and a payroll company are being brought in to replace the current paper-based system, which has created record-keeping problems, particularly in the Water and Sewer Department.

Democrat Rich Klotz, running unopposed for Lloyd highway superintendent, received 1,645 votes, according to the unofficial results provided. The results also list Klotz as winning another term, which he said will be his ninth two-year term. He said he continues to enjoy the job and is already working on plans for 2027.

Incumbent town Supervisor Scott Corcoran, on the Republican and Conservative lines, defeated former Supervisor Al Lanzetta, on the Democratic, Working Families, and Common Ground lines, 2,014-1,727 on Tuesday, according to unofficial results.

Corcoran was elected to the Town Board in 2011, 2015, and 2019, then won supervisor races in 2021, 2023, and 2025. He said he was grateful for another opportunity.

“Together, we have accomplished a lot, but there is still more work to be done,” he wrote in a letter to the Southern Ulster Times. “I look forward to building on our progress, tackling new challenges, and continuing to put Marlborough First!”

Lanzetta served as supervisor from 2006-09 and 2016-19, and ran unsuccessfully for the position in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2021, when he lost to Corcoran. He graduated from Marlboro High School in 1964.

Lanetta said he entered the race to give Marlborough residents a choice and expressed appreciation for the support he received during the campaign.

He also pointed to the enthusiasm surrounding this year’s election and said he hopes more residents will become involved in local government.

“My hope is that more people will be encouraged to get involved and run for public office,” Lanetta said, adding that greater citizen participation would benefit the community. He encouraged residents interested in public service to consider getting involved with the Marlborough Democratic Committee.

Republican Gael Appler defeated Democrat Rolando Garcia, 1,006-957, in the Town Council race.

In Plattekill, incumbent Democrat Michael Lembo defeated Republican Dwight Dougherty, 704-335, to continue as town supervisor.

Lembo thanked voters for their support and said he was grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the community where he was born and raised and where he has spent decades involved in local government.

“Plattekill is my hometown. I was born and raised here, raised my family here, and have been involved in our local government for decades,” Lembo said.

He said he understands that decisions made by town government directly affect residents’ everyday lives and pledged to continue approaching the job with dedication, common sense and a commitment to the town’s best interests.

“It’s an honor to serve as your town supervisor,” Lembo said.
