Hmmm, maybe the Buffalo News is starting to wake up and we are having an impact. This is the first time I can remember that they have endorsed so many Republicans. Are they starting to see that most of the Democrat incumbents are useless, self serving politicians that have never met a tax hike they didn’t like and vote for? Possibly.
It is such a shame that the 5 listed below don’t have challengers, of course we know that Maria Whyte had her challenger thrown off the ballot, her campaign backed by Hoyt own the judge. When did she move into her district? Can anyone tell me where she was living up until this year? Anyone? It was not where she resides now.
Ten Erie lawmakers face challenges, few incumbents earn recommendations
All 15 Erie County Legislature seats are on the ballot this year, but there are real contests in only 10 of them. Incumbents Tim Kennedy (D, 2nd District), Barbara Miller-Williams (D, 3rd), Maria Whyte (D, 6th), Betty Jean Grant (D, 7th) and John Mills (R, 13th) have no major challenges.
Here are our recommendations in the remaining races:
The ones Bold are my picks.
- 1st District: Vincent Tobia Sr.
- 4th District: Raymond Walter
- 5th District: Diane Terranova
- 8th District: Ted Morton
- 9th District: Brian Wirth
- 10th District: Kevin Hardwick
- 11th District: Lynn Marinelli
- 12th District: Lynne Dixon
- 14th District: Shelly Schratz
