ANGOLA — There must be something about the District 1 seat on the Steuben County Council that Councilman Jim Getz was so willing to give up in order to run for Steuben County commissioner.
There are now four Republicans and two Democrats running for their party's nominations in the May 3 Primary.
There's still time for more candidates to file for that or any other race that will be on the primary ballot. Filing ends today at noon in the Steuben County Courthouse.
Landon Brown, Lake Pleasant, Angela Campbell, Lake Pleasant, Christina Cress, Fremont, and Brian Welch, Fremont, have filed for the Republican nomination. Harle L. Vogel, Jimmerson Lake, and Judy Rowe, Lake Pleasant, have filed for the Democratic nomination. Rowe is the Steuben County Democratic Party chair.
So far there’s one other race for a Republican council nomination, in District 4.
For that seat, incumbent Tony Isa has filed for reelection for what would be his first full term. Isa was caucused into his seat in December 2020 after Wil Howard resigned following his election to the Steuben County Board of Commissioners, South District. Isa is being challenged by Frank Charlton, who is a retired county department head from building and planning then parks.
The other incumbents are so far unopposed.
District 2 Council President Rick Shipe and District 3 Council Vice President Ruth Beer are so far unopposed for nomination. However, Shipe is guaranteed a race in the fall as Democrat David MacFadyen, Angola, has filed his candidacy.
In the district races for county council, only people living in those districts can vote for the candidates. None of the three at-large seats are up this cycle.
When it comes to county commissioner seats, everyone registered to vote, no matter what the district of their residence, can cast a ballot. The only seat up this year is the North District, which covers Millgrove, Jamesdown, Fremont and Clear Lake townships. But if you live in Otsego Township, for example, you can vote for commissioner.
Andy Laughlin, Lake Pleasant, who works for the Steuben County Building Department, is taking on the veteran politician Getz, Lake George.
Elsewhere, there’s a race for the auditor’s seat, which finds two members of the auditor’s staff, Kelli Wilder-Johnson, chief deputy and administrative assistant to the commissioners, running against Brittany K. (Maxton) Bacon, payroll clerk.
The seat is open this election because Auditor Kim Meyers can’t run again due to state term limits.
Former Steuben County Surveyor Donald Mason, Angola, who was in office in the early 1980s, has filed as a Democratic candidate for the office. Filing on the Republican ticket is James Slabaugh, rural Angola. Steuben County Surveyor Alexander Steele, who was caucused in to the position in December, has not filed.
The list of candidates for Republican state convention is at 21 candidates for Steuben County’s allotment of 12 delegate seats.
Here are the convention candidates:
Terry Appell, Donald Bowman, Seirra Bowman, Tony Culver, Jim Getz, Tony Isa, Desi Isa, David Martin, Colleen McNabb-Everage, Dennis Rider, Mary Rider, Lynn Routsong, Jennifer Sharkey, Karen Shelton, Ken Shelton, Rick Shipe, Donald Shively, Penny Steele, Daniel R. Thiele, Dennis Zent, Wendy Zent
