Big win in Greece boosts Monroe County Democrats. Here are 2025 election takeaways

A big night for Democrats, highlighted by a win for Greece supervisor, has left the Monroe County Republican Committee in rebuilding mode.

The carrying trend compounds victories for Democrats in 2023 and 2024, a testament to the party's growing momentum. The difference was emphasized by the tenor of the respective watch parties, where Republicans filed out as results became clear and Democrats enjoyed a raucous celebration....

“We have had an amazing night in Monroe County tonight,” said Monroe County Democratic Committee chairman Stephen DeVay. “Across our county, from Mendon to Irondequoit to Penfield to Greece to the City of Rochester to Perinton — we have sent a message that the politics that are happening at the national level will not happen here.”

No Republican candidates took the podium at the main hall of Eagle Vale Golf Club, with the only speaker the newly appointed Monroe County Republican Committee chairman Peter Elder. The message from Elder was blunt.
