Looking Ahead to November

Now that the absentee ballots have been counted and reported in the only really close races in the Democratic primary, we have a good idea of our choices in the November election. So, here's the list. The parties listed after each name indicate the party lines on which the candidate's name will appear.

Mayor

Rick Rector--Democrat, Republican, Conservative

Treasurer

Heather Campbell--Democrat

Common Council President

Tom DePietro--Democrat, Republican, Working Families, Conservative

FIRST WARD

Supervisor

Sarah Sterling--Democrat

Aldermen

Rob Bujan--Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independence

Kamal Johnson--Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Working Families

SECOND WARD

Abdus Miah--Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independence

Willette Jones--Working Families

Aldermen

Dewan Sarowar--Democrat, Independence

Tiffany Garriga--Democrat, Working Families

Victor Mendolia--Working Families

Martin Martinez--Republican, Conservative

THIRD WARD

Supervisor

Michael Chameides--Democrat, Working Families

Calvin Lewis--Democrat, Republican, Working Families

Shershah Mizan--Democrat, Republican, Working Families

FOURTH WARD

Lauren Scalera--Republican, Conservative

FIFTH WARD

Supervisor

Rick Scalera--Democrat, Republican, Conservative

Aldermen

The wards with choices are the Second, Fourth, and Fifth, although in the Fifth Ward, the choice is only for the two aldermen. Only one person--Rick Scalera--will be on the ballot for Fifth Ward supervisor. But don't think if you live in the First or Third ward you can stay home from the polls on November 7. There will be referendums needing your consideration.
