On this edition of FLX Today we continue our series previewing local elections by talking with one of the candidates running for Seneca Falls Town Supervisor. Frank Schmitter defeated incumbent Mike Ferrara in a primary in June to run on the Republican line. However, he was also supported by Democrats at their caucus. While Ferrara has continued his campaign, running as a Conservative in the general election, Schmitter has shifted his focus to issues he says have an impact on day-to-day life for residents. Infrastructure issues related to street and basement flooding, as well as building stronger relationships with entities like the Cayuga Nation.
Check out the full-interview below or on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
Editor’s Note: Supervisor Ferrara will appear later this week on FLX Today as part of this series to discuss his candidacy and issues on the ballot.
