For some it might feel like election season just ended, but in Canandaigua, City Council races are already defined for November.
A special election set for November 5 will see voters choosing candidates for two at-large City Council seats, following the resignations of Council members Renée Sutton and Steve Uebbing last year. The election has attracted a mix of seasoned politicians and newcomers eager to serve their community.
Democrats Douglas Merrill, a retired professor from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and Gwendolyn Van Laeken, the executive director of the Partnership for Ontario County, are facing off against Republicans Sean Buck, a local business owner, and John Nagle-Caraluzzo, who is involved in wealth management and construction.
