OTSELIC – There will be race for town supervisor in the Town of Otselic, according to the Chenango County Board of Elections.

Stanley E. Davis, a Republican, agreed to run after his party’s caucus nominee declined by the Sept. 25 deadline.

He challenges David J. Messineo, who has been town supervisor since 2004. Messineo currently sits on the county’s public works and planning and economic development committees. He will run on the ballot as both a Democrat and Independent.
