      The General Election is Tuesday, November 5, 2013. So get ready to vote!

      “Don’t forget to vote, by the way. The polls at the Essex fire station open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. In addition to filling various offices, voters will decide on six different proposals to amend the state constitution dealing with subjects like sewer debt, the age of judges and the NYCO land swap. I would suggest reading up on these before you close the curtain behind you.” ~ Rob Ivy

      The Candidates & Proposals

      Running for the position of Town Supervisor are Ed Gardner and Sharon Boisen. Today an article came out that allowed the candidates to explain their positions. Take a look at the first question and their replies:

      What do you bring to the office of supervisor that will benefit the residents of Essex?

      Boisen: I bring to the table 30 years of financial experience, including banking, sole proprietorship, medical financial services and four years experience as Essex Town supervisor. Additionally, I will continue the honest and open government practices while working with the best interest of the town in mind.

      Gardner: My knowledge having worked with past supervisors and sharing their ideas about the water issues and working on the budget. My heavy equipment experience and working as a mechanic will help me work with the highway superintendent.  Continue reading article…

      The League of Women Voters hosted a “Meet the Candidates” event on Oct. 24, 2013, which allowed the Town Supervisor candidates to campaign and the public to ask questions. Take a look at the questions asked and the candidates answers here.

      Also running for offices are the following candidates:

      Town Council: Bryan Garvey, Clair Lapine
      Highway Superintendent: Bradley French
      Town Clerk/Tax Collector: William Morgan
      Essex County, District Attorney: Kristy Sprague
      Supreme Court Justice, District 4: Thomas Nolan, Mark Powers, Stan Pritzker

      There are also six proposals on this year’s ballot that you must vote yes or no on.
