ALBANY COUNTY — Early voting is underway ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Here is what Enterprise readers will find on their ballot.

Regional races

The reconfigured 46th District for the New York State Senate covers Albany, Bethlehem, Coeymans, Guilderland, New Scotland, and the Helderberg Hilltowns of Berne, Knox, Westerlo, and Rensselaerville.

Incumbent Michelle Hinchey, because of the redistricting, is now running in a different district.

So voters will choose between Neil D. Breslin, currently representing the 44th Senate District, running on the Democratic and Working Families lines, and Rich M. Amedure Jr., running on the Republican and Conservative lines. (Read more about their views.)

All of the towns covered by The Enterprise have remained in the 20th Congressional District where incumbent Paul D. Tonko, running on the Democratic and Working Families lines, is again being challenged by Liz L. Joy, running on the Republican and Conservative lines.

Voters will also cast their ballots for up to three judicial candidates among the four running for the 3rd Judicial District of the State Supreme Court: Heidi Theis Cochrane, Sharon A. Graff, and Meagan K. Galligan — each running solely on the Democratic line — and Thomas J. Marcelle, running on both the Republican and conservative lines.

Guilderland

The redistricting that took place after the 2020 census led to Guilderland being in two different districts for the State Assembly.

Guilderland residents who live below Route 20 in election districts 1 to 14, 22, and 26 to 30 remain in District 109 of the State Assembly and will be deciding between incumbent Democrat Patricia A. Fahy and Republican challenger Alicia Purdy. (Read more about their views.)

Guilderland residents who live above Route 20 in districts 15 to 21 and 23 to 25, are now in District 110 of the State Assembly and will be deciding between incumbent Phillip G. Steck, running on the Democratic and Working Families lines, and Alexandra M. Vilella, running on the Republican and Conservative lines. (Read more about their views.)

All Guilderland residents will be able to vote in two uncontested elections — for town justice and for town councilperson.

Jacob M. Crawford is running on the Democratic and Working Party lines to fill the Guilderland Town Board seat vacated by Laurel Bohl on July 12. Crawford is already serving in that role, having been appointed by the town board in September.

Incumbent town justice Bryan M. Clenahan is running on the Democratic, Working Families, and Conservative lines. He was elected in 2018 to fill the post vacated by Richard Sherwood after he was charged with, and later pleaded guilty to, stealing from family trusts he oversaw as a private attorney.

Hilltowns

After the 2020 census, District 102 in the State Assembly was reconfigured so that it now includes all of the Helderberg Hilltowns: Berne, Knox, Rensselaerville, and Westerlo.

Incumbent assemblyman Christopher Tague, running on the Republican and Conservative lines, is being challenged by Nicholas S. Chase, on the Democratic line. (Read more about their views.)

In Berne, Albert A. Thiem, who was appointed to the town board at the start of 2022 to fill a seat vacated by Bonnie Conklin, is running unopposed to keep that seat; he has both the Republican and Conservative lines.

In Westerlo, Peter J. Mahan Sr. is running unopposed on the Republican line for town councilperson, also to fill a vacancy. He was appointed to the post on March 15 to fill Matt Kryzak’s seat when Kryzak became supervisor.

Statewide

Four statewide offices are being contested:

— Governor:

Incumbent governor Kathy C. Hochul is running with lieutenant governor Antonio Delgado on the Democratic and Working Families lines, being challenged by Lee Zelden for governor and Alison Esposito for lieutenant governor on the Republican and Conservative lines;

— Comptroller:

Incumbent Thomas DiNapoli, running on the Democratic and Working Families lines, is being challenged by Paul Rodriguez on the Republican and Conservative lines;

— Attorney General:

Incumbent Letitia A. James, running on the Democratic and Working Families lines, is being challenged by Michael Henry on the Republican and Conservative lines; and

— United States Senator:

Incumbent Charles E. Schumer, running on the Democratic and Working Families lines, is being challenged by Joe Pinion, running on the Republican and Conservative lines, and by Diane Sare on the LaRouche Party line.

There is also, on the back of the ballot, a statewide proposition — the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Bond Act of 2022, which the ballot says, “to address and combat the impact of climate change and damage to the environment,” authorizes sale of state bonds up to $4.2 billion “to fund environmental protection, natural restoration, resiliency, and clean energy projects.”
