Deputy Supervisor Jason Rauf, who The Enterprise covered in a separate profile, is running for highway superintendent, uncontested.

The Facebook page of the Town of New Scotland Republican Committee shared a post on Jan. 6 from Republican Congressional candidate Liz Joy that called the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol “very peaceful & kind.” Joy wrote that “Everyone there was law abiding,” and sought to blame the day’s violence on left-wing activists. 

Democrat Lisa Williams, appointed clerk in December 2020, is squaring off against Republican Lori Dollard for the office’s full two-year term.

The process to replace two county planning board members had been shrouded in mystery. Albany County Legislator Mark Grimm shed a beam of light on the dark procedure.

Republican endorsee Kregg Grippo is running for Knox supervisor against former assessor Russ Pokorny, a Democrat who has run for supervisor before but lost. Resident Brigitte McAuliffe is shooting for a spot on the town board on her own Accountability line, running against Republican-backed incumbents Karl Pritchard and Ken Saddlemire.

Incumbent Democrats are facing Republican opposition for supervisor, two seats on the town board, and town clerk — but New Scotland’s Democratic town judge and highway superintendent won’t face GOP opposition in November. 

ALBANY COUNTY — Two members of the county’s planning board were slated for replacement without their knowledge.
