VOORHEESVILLE — Three Voorheesville trustees and the village mayor are running unopposed in the upcoming March 15 election. 

Longtime incumbent trustees Richard Berger and John Stevens will face no opposition, nor will Kaitlin Wilson, who was appointed to the village board in July to fill the seat of Richard Straut, who took over for Robert Conway as village mayor that same month. 

Straut is also running unopposed for a full term as mayor. 

The election will take place on Tuesday, March 15, from noon to 9 p.m., at the Voorheesville Volunteer Fire Department firehouse at 12 Altamont Road.
