Republicans in St. Lawrence County will choose candidates today in the 115th and 116th Assembly Districts, while Democrats help choose candidates for governor and lieutenant governor to represent them on the ballot in the November general election.
In local races, only three St. Lawrence County towns have contested primaries – Colton, DeKalb and Parishville.
Polls are open from noon to 9 p.m.
Running for the 115th Assembly district, which includes Brasher, Hopkinton, Lawrence and Piercefield, are incumbent Janet L. Duprey and Karen Bisso.
Running for the 116th district are John S. Humphrey and John L. Byrne III. Although not a Republican party candidate, Russell Finley filed a “petition to ballot,” which allows registered Republicans to write in candidates. The 116th Assembly District is currently held by Democrat Addie Russell.
The district includes Canton, Ogdensburg, Massena, Potsdam, Lisbon Morristown, Depeyster, Hammond, Louisville, Oswegatchie, Rossie and Waddington.
Conservatives will also choose a candidate for the 116th district. Russell Finely is the only candidate on the ballot, but Conservative voters may also write in candidates, thanks for a successful petition to ballot by Republican John Byrne.
St. Lawrence County Democrats will be part of the statewide choice of candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. Democrats in the race for governor are Andrew M. Cuomo, Zephyr R. Teachout and Randy A. Credico. Kathy C. Hochul and Timothy Wu are competing for lieutenant governor.
In Colton, Democrats will choose two St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee candidates from a pool of four.
Running for the Democratic nod in Colton are Roger J. Dusharm, Dennis E. Eickhoff, Mary F. McKinley and Daniel C. McNamara.
In DeKalb, Republicans will choose to endorse Donald C. Brown or Alan L. Garrand in the race for highway superintendent.
Parishville Republicans will decide whether to run Brian T. Gary or Donald E. Tebo Jr. for a town council position.
