Jonathan
Steinberg, the second-longest serving state representative in the history of
Westport, and his supporters were disappointed Tuesday night after apparently
falling short in the race for first selectman.
His
opponent Jennifer Tooker and her running mate Andrea Moore declared victory around
10:20 p.m.
Tooker
is the current second selectwoman, a position she's held since 2017. She's also
been on the Board of Finance, the Board of Education, and the Westport
Conservation Commission.
Prior
to public service, Tooker spent more than 20 years at Gen Re in management,
operation, and executive positions.
Moore,
worked on Wall Street for 15 years and is the current vice chairman of the
Westport Board of Finance. She also previously held a seat on Westport's
Representative Town Meeting.
