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
Supervisor
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
Aldermen
Calvin Lewis--Democrat, Republican, Working Families
Shershah Mizan--Democrat, Republican, Working Families

FOURTH WARD
Supervisor
Linda Mussmann--Democrat, Working Families, Independence
Bill Hughes--Republican, Conservative
Aldermen
John Rosenthal--Democrat
Rich Volo--Democrat
Lauren Scalera--Republican, Conservative

FIFTH WARD
Supervisor
Rick Scalera--Democrat, Republican, Conservative
Aldermen
Dominic Merante--Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Working Families
Eileen Halloran--Democrat
Bob Donahue--Republican, Conservative

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.

  2. It's time Mr.Donahue stepped aside and let someone who actually is capable of adding something of value to the council. His days are over. Hudson is a much different place then when he was elected for the first time many years ago. Give it up!

  3. I'm no fan of the man, but with all due respect, this is something for the voters to decide.

  4. I only tried to make the point that HE should not even consider running. The voters should have better choices.
