Results Of The Petersburgh Democratic Caucus

submitted by Denise Church, Democratic Committee Chair
The Petersburgh Democratic Committee held its caucus on September 9. Twenty-three registered Democrats who live in the Town of Petersburgh came to the caucus and all voted.  It was a great turn out, and the Committee was very happy to see so many come to the caucus.
For the position of Town Council Seat One, two people were nominated. They were Denise Jacon Church, who lives on Taconic Trail and is a registered Democrat, and Jack Barnhill, who lives on Rolland Road and is a registered Republican. A ballot vote was completed with Church getting the nomination.
The position of Town Council Seat Two had two people nominated. Neil Geary, who has lived on Dayfoot Road for 25 years and is a registered Democrat was the first nomination. Jack Barnhill was nominated a second time.  A ballot vote was completed with Neil Geary getting the nomination.
For the position of Highway Superintendent, two nominations were given. One for Ray Harrison and one for Gene Kluck, both registered Republicans. A ballot vote was completed with the nomination going to Ray Harrison, the Incumbent.
The Committee nominated the Town’s Republican incumbents for the positions for which there was not a Democrat running. The following were nominated without a ballot vote since there was only the one candidate:
• Ziggy Krahforst for Town Supervisor;
• Callie Crisp for Town Clerk and
• Emily Harrison for Tax Collector.
Congratulations and good luck to all the candidates!
