Dems name slate

GUILDERLAND — Monday night, the town’s Democratic committee unanimously nominated candidates for this year’s town election. Four incumbents and two newcomers got the party’s nod.

Incumbent Supervisor Kenneth Runion, Councilwoman Patricia Slavick, Receiver of Taxes Jean Cataldo, and Town Clerk Rosemary Centi will all run for re-election on the Democratic ticket.

Paul Pastore, the town’s planning board attorney, was nominated to run for the other town board seat. Incumbent Bruce Sherwin told The Enterprise last month that he wanted to run again, but he felt he wouldn’t get the party’s nomination because of his independent thinking.

The Democrats also nominated Denise Randall, assistant town attorney, to challenge the incumbent Republican judge, Steven J. Simon.

The Republican committee announced in May that Simon would run, along with town board candidates Mike Donegan and Ed Glenning.

The GOP has yet to name candidates for supervisor, town clerk, or receiver of taxes. The party’s chairman said earlier that a supervisor candidate will be named by June 11.
