Nov. 5 voting will decide Canton mayor’s race, three spots on Ogdensburg City Council, many other local races

Posted

A mayoral race in Canton and a five-way contest for three Ogdensburg City Council seats will be among the highlights when voters head to the polls Nov. 5.

In what has turned out to be an otherwise quiet year for local municipal elections in St. Lawrence County, voters will also decide a race for highway superintendent in Canton and select two village trustees in races in both Gouverneur and Canton.

In the Village of Canton, incumbent Republican David Curry will attempt to keep his position as mayor as trustee Mary Ann Ashley, a Republican who lost to Curry in the GOP caucus now running on the Democratic ballot line, tries to unseat him.

In Ogdensburg, voters will choose from five candidates to fill three positions as city councilors. Those in the running include incumbents Republican Daniel E. Skamperle and Democrat Michael D. Morley, and newcomers Brian R. Mitchell and James R. Amo, both Republicans, and Penny Sharlow, who is running on the “Want To Know” party line.

Voters in the Village of Gouverneur will cast their ballots for two trustees in a race that includes incumbent Republican Roger A. LaPierre and challengers Birney D. Kellogg, a Democrat, and Shelly Simons, a Republican.

Four candidates will vie for two positions as Canton village trustees including Democrats Carol Pynchon and Brooke James Rouse and Republicans Nick Kocker and Michael Dalton.

Voters will also decide on the Canton Town Highway Superintendent position as incumbent Republican Terry L. Billings will compete against Democrat Ed McCarthy.

Polls will be open Nov. 5 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
