Primaries and caucuses are over — results are in

HARLEM VALLEY — Amenia incumbent Wayne Euvrard won the vote for the town supervisor nomination during the Sept. 15 Republican primaries, receiving 183 votes to newcomer Gary Bonds’ 111 votes.

At the last Town Board meeting, Euvrard thanked “all the voters,� saying he was “honored to be able to serve as your town supervisor.�

Bonds thanked the people for their support at the polls and on the campaign trail. He said he would be weighing his options over the next few weeks before deciding whether to run as a write-in.

“I’m still very interested in bringing the whole town together,� he said.

Also in Amenia, incumbent Jim Devine won the primary for town justice, beating Mike Delango 197 votes to 84.

In North East, town justice incumbent Richard Joannides defeated John Thomas by a tally of 50 to 38.

“I would like to congratulate Ms. McCabe for being selected by the Democratic Party,� Joannides said. “I’m looking forward to an open campaign and an open discussion of all the issues concerning the judgeship.�

The Democratic Party in North East held its caucus on Sept. 19 at Village Hall. As a result, Republicans Dave Sherman (town supervisor), Tim Shaffer (councilman) and Nancy Davis-Vialpando (town clerk) will be cross-endorsed by both parties. Newcomer Jon Arnason will run on the Democratic ticket for councilman and Casey McCabe, as mentioned above, will be facing Joannides for the position of town justice.

Meanwhile, in Pine Plains, Republican incumbents Dorean Gardner and Rick Butler, both town council members, will face off against challengers selected in the Sept. 17 Democratic caucus. Those Democratic candidates are Sandra Davis and Rosemary Lyons-Chase.
