LOWVILLE- The race between Democratic Incumbent District Attorney for Lewis County, Leanne Moser, and her Republican challenger, Jeffery Tompkins, is a nail-biter.

Data suggests that Tompkins was ahead of Moser by nearly 50 votes as of Wednesday.

Moser has been Lewis County’s District Attorney for 16-years, with each term lasting four-years. 2023 marks the fifth election cycle for Moser and the DA position.

Officials say it could be as late as next week for when this race is officially decided.
