Some contest in November’s city elections
NORWICH – Although elections are still four months away, the Republican and Democratic candidates for city offices have officially thrown their hats into the ring, and this year, there will be some contests for the open seats.
Three seats on the City of Norwich Common Council will be up for grabs this year, as well as the positions for both city supervisors and the mayor.
According to Carol Franklin, the Democratic Commissioner at the Chenango County Board of Elections, this year’s city races will include contests for three positions.
Mayor Joseph Maiurano is currently running unopposed for another term as Mayor. Maiurano was appointed to the position after the death of former Mayor Robert C. Raphael. In November of 2006, he was elected for one year, to finish out Raphael’s term. Maiurano was re-elected to a full two-year term in 2007.
City Supervisor for Wards Four, Five and Six, Linda Natoli, will also be running unopposed this year, as will Second Ward Alderman Terry Bresina and Fourth Ward Alderman Walter Schermerhorn.
While the majority of the positions have no opposition, two city seats will see a race this year. The position of city supervisor seat for wards one, two and three, currently held by James McNeil, will be contested this year. McNeil, who has held the position of supervisor for many years, will run on the Democratic ticket. Opposing McNeil will be Scott Sutton, who will run on the Republican line.
McNeil and Sutton went head to head for the position in 2007. At the time, Sutton ran on an independent line. The race was close, and absentee ballots had to be counted before a clear winner could be announced. When the ballots were counted, McNeil received 495 votes to Sutton’s 411.
Another contested race this year will take place in Norwich’s sixth ward. Incumbent Robert Jeffrey will face off against Norwich businessman Daniel J. Palmer in a Republican-only primary. Palmer, a newcomer to the political scene, currently owns and operates The Broad Street Tavern.
The Republican primary will be held from noon to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Republican primaries will also be held this year in the towns of Coventry, Guilford and Sherburne.
While petitions for the Republican and Democratic candidates were due last week, anyone running on an independent line will have until mid-August to file.
