Presta faced return challenger, attorney John Toscas, in the April 6 election. Presta won the backing of the village's businesses by giving residents vouchers that helped keep village residents afloat during the depths of the pandemic.
It was a clean sweep for Presta's United Party of Crestwood party as well, with the clerk and trustee candidates winning village board seats.
