As Republicans regained control of the Nassau County Legislature for the first time in a decade, Nassau County Executive Thomas Souzzi is leading by a razor thin margin.

The defeat came for Democrats when Republican Howard Kopel beat five-term Democrat Jeff Toback in last night’s elections, giving the GOP a 10-9 control. Several races remained too close to call.
As of Wednesday morning, Suozzi is still in a neck-and-neck fight for a third four-year term against Republican county legislator Edward Mangano. The candidates were split at 48 percent of the vote with 98 percent of precincts reporting late Tuesday.

Suozzi ran unsuccessfully for his party’s nomination to be governor in 2006.
