Fiery Fiscal Conservative Republican Rob Astorino crushed 3-term incumbent Democrat Andrew Spano for Westchester County Executive. Astorino is described as a "relative unknown."

The day after his win, Astorino commented to WNYC radio:

"This is a very big message to Albany that they cannot keep taxing and spending the way they are."

LoHud.com (Lower Hudson Valley) reports:

It wasn't quite a red wave that washed across northern Westchester Tuesday, but it certainly wasn't a bad night to be a Republican.

Voters ousted Democratic supervisors in Yorktown and Lewisboro and elected GOP majorities in both towns, as they did in North Castle,?North Salem and Somers. A 24-year-old Republican even cracked the all-Democratic Ossining Town Board.

As one specific example, Yorktown shifted from a Town Board of 4-1Democrat to 3-2 Republican.

The issues that caused the stunning GOP Wins? Taxes and the Economy. LowHud interviewed two local Voters:

Taxes are out of control in Yorktown, voter and mother of two Lisa Starkey said.

"It's a great community to live in, but they're making it unaffordable," she said.

That's what brought John Lemke out to vote for the Republican slate.

"Rising taxes are creating a real hardship on the residents here," Lemke said.

Democrat elected officials have become such a pariah in this heavily Blue New York City suburb that one Democrat even got beat by a Libertarian. Continuing:

In North Castle, where Democratic Supervisor Reese Berman did not seek re-election, the Democrat came in third behind the Republican and an independent endorsed by the Libertarian Party.
