BERNE — Randy Bashwinger, a Republican leading a mixed slate of candidates as the party’s chairman, is running for a second term as highway superintendent. After being elected to fill out a term, Bashwinger is touting his accomplishments in the past three years as superintendent.

BERNE — Sean Lyons is challenging Berne’s long-time Democratic supervisor. He said he is a supporter of President Donald Trump and “his initiative to bring fresh faces and people who are not politicians into politics.”

BERNE — Frank Brady, a former union vice president for the Civil Service Employees Association, said he is running for town council because he’d like to change the way things are done in Berne’s government.

A Democrat, he is running on the Republican slate.

The contested races in Rensselaerville include four candidates running for two town board seats, and four more vying for two assessor posts. The Democratic candidate for supervisor, Steve Pfleging, is unopposed.

RENSSELAERVILLE — “A small town is like a family,” says Steve Pfleging. A Democrat, he is unopposed in his run for supervisor.

It is Pfleging’s first run for political office and he’d like to keep the town on an “even keel,” he said. “I’m not a politician,” Pfleging said, “so running is new for me.”

With official voting results in, Democrats Adam Greenberg and Daniel Leinung will be on the Conservative Party line for the fall election.

RENSSELAERVILLE — Donna Kropp, who has been a town assessor for 12 years, is running for the fourth time.

She has lived in Rensselaerville most of her life and, at 65, is retired from her full-time career, often putting in extra hours in her part-time assessor’s post. She is a Republican running on the GOP line.

RENSSELAERVILLE — When Randall Bates became Rensselaerville’s highway superintendent six years ago, he had a goal that he thought might be impossible. “My goal was to have all of our roads in a state where we have a 10-year renewal plan,” he said.

The positions of town justice, clerk, and highway superintendent are up for election this November. All incumbents are unopposed.

The general election in November will feature one competitive race for town council. The candidates were asked to weigh in on issues facing the town and its residents.
