And he did so narrowly by a tally of 6,869-6,329, according to complete but unofficial results from the Monroe County Board of Elections.

Evans — who will be the first Black person to serve as town supervisor in Monroe county — is a U.S. Army veteran.

Fitzpatrick beat Democrat Joe Morelle Jr. in 2021 by just a few hundred votes.
