NARRAGANSETT — The Democratic wave that swept state and national races Tuesday made its presence felt in Narragansett, helping Democrats to win three-seat majorities on both the Town Council and School Committee.

With all but a handful of provisional ballots still not counted, the list of winners was unchanged yesterday. On the council, incumbent Krista J. Garrett, a Republican who declined the party’s endorsement this year, led with 3,594 votes.

Following Garrett were three Democrats: incumbents James P. Durkin and T. Brian Handrigan, and George F. Lenihan Jr., who returns to the council after a four-year absence.

Republican Christopher Wilkens, a longtime resident who urged the town to bargain hard with Gilbane Development Co. for more commercial development in the Pier area, took the last council seat with a fifth-place finish.

Garrett said she was honored to be reelected to a second term and win the highest vote count.

“It says to me that the people of the town like the job that I’ve done for the last two years, and I just hope that I can live up to the trust that they’ve put in me,” she said.

The strong Democratic turnout did not carry all the party’s candidates. Democrat Stephen E. Glazer knocked on doors throughout the town and had been a regular presence at council meetings, but he finished eighth in the council race with 2,499 votes. Finishing 182 votes ahead of him for the seventh spot was Republican Lelia D. Palmieri. And Democrat Karen M. Chapman, who did little to campaign and did not attend a recent candidate’s forum, finished sixth with 2,730 votes.

Glazer, a retired lawyer who has lived full-time in Narragansett just three years, said he is glad he ran and plans to stay involved.

“I met a lot of good people, and I think that I came out a winner,” he said.

The ninth and tenth spots in the council race were taken by independent Stephen E. Marasco, with 2,167 votes, and Tim Faraone, a Republican who ran as an independent, with 1,959 votes.

The school board results were similar to those of the council.

Two Democrats – Susan Cicilline-Buonanno and Ann E. Masterson – were reelected, and a third Democrat who had previously served returned to the board. Raymond A. Ranaldi, who finished third, behind Cicilline-Buonanno and Masteron, returns to the board after a two-year absence. Rounding out the new board with fourth and fifth place finishes were independents Nancy A. Devaney, an incumbent, and Sheila Trainor, a former board member who is also returning.

The sixth and seventh spots in the school board race were taken by newcomer Tammy J. McNeiece, who finished 54 votes behind Trainor, and Republican incumbent Diane S. Nobles, who failed to win reelection.

Win Hames, chairman of the Democratic Town Committee, said he was pleased with the results but sorry Glazer didn’t do better.

“Steve is a very intelligent guy, and he researches issues, but he’s just not well-known,” Hames said. “If he does make another run in a couple of years, I think he’ll be elected.”

Robert Mulligan, chairman of the Republican Town Committee, said he was disappointed about Nobles losing her seat but pleased with the showings by Garrett, Wilkens and Palmieri, a native of Romania who many thought would finish further out.

“If she had been out and about a little bit longer, who knows where she could have gotten to,” he said.
