To the Editor:
Russ Pokorny is running for Knox town supervisor. As the long-time former assessor for Knox, Russ proved himself to be capable, fair, and friendly. Russ tends to bring out the best in those around him. We would all benefit from a leader who fosters goodwill and cooperation among all of us neighbors.

Brigitte McAuliffe, a registered Republican, is running for town council. She has the support of the Knox Democratic Committee because she has demonstrated, in a non-partisan manner, her desire to insure that  town government complies with all applicable laws and regulations. As a New York State civil servant, Brigitte brings a thorough understanding of how government functions. Find Brigitte on the bottom line of the ballot.

Debbie Liddle is running for town clerk. Her many years of service as deputy town clerk, town clerk, justice clerk, etc. speak for themselves. She is highly qualified and motivated to serve as town clerk once again.
