Two new trustees will join the Village of Munsey Park, the only newcomers elected among incumbents in four Manhasset village elections.
The villages of Munsey Park, Plandome Manor, Plandome Heights, and Plandome held elections for various board of trustees and justice positions on Tuesday, March 18.
The Village of Munsey Park was the only village with two new faces running for election. The two newcomers were Patricia “Patty” Miller and Bruno Carusone.
Miller was elected with 94 votes and Carusone was elected with 88.
Miller and Carusone ran for the open seats of Trustee Joseph Williams and Trustee Antonio D’Angelo. Both opted not to run for re-election.
Mayor Lawrence Ceriello also ran for re-election, winning with 90 votes.
Ceriello was elected to the board as a trustee in 2017 but took over the mayoral seat in 2019 to succeed former Mayor Frank DeMento. This will be his fourth term.
