Suburban GOPers snare county posts

While New York City voters went overwhelmingly Democratic on Tuesday, residents of the city’s closest suburbs took a decidedly different tack.

Republican Ed Mangano beat back a challenge from Democrat Tom Suozzi to keep his job as Nassau County executive.

In Westchester, Republican County Executive Rob Astorino claimed victory over Democratic challenger Noam Bramson, the mayor of New Rochelle.

Astorino told cheering supporters at his victory party in White Plains that he called to congratulate Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio — and to say that he doesn’t buy into de Blasio’s campaign theme.

“There’s a lot being said downtown . . . about a tale of two New Yorks,” Astorino said.

“You look around this room. If there are two New Yorks — and I reject that premise — there is just one Westchester.”

In Rockland, disgraced Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin, who’s fighting federal corruption charges, was failing miserably in a bid to keep her job through a write-in campaign after losing the Democratic primary in September.

The county Board of Elections reported a mere 61 write-in votes cast, about 2 percent of the total, after counting returns from 72 percent of districts.And in Boston, state Rep. Marty Walsh — a childhood-cancer survivor and recovering alcoholic — claimed victory over City Councilor John Connolly in the race to succeed outgoing Mayor Thomas Menino, who is stepping down after 20 years.

In other votes across the nation, Houston residents rejected a $217 million plan to turn the decrepit Astrodome into a glitzy convention center, according to television station KHOU.

The decision likely condemns the shuttered sports stadium — once known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World” — to the wrecking ball.

In cash-strapped Detroit, former hospital chief Mike Duggan was projected to win the mayor’s job over Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Outgoing Mayor Dave Bing opted against seeking re-election after the Motor City filed for bankruptcy protection.
