Control of the Schoharie County Board of Supervisors is up for grabs in November.
Although there are only seven races for supervisor among the 16 towns, Democrats could make inroads into the lopsided Republican majority on the board.
Republicans control 12 of the 16 seats on the board. Of those, 12, Democrats are contesting four.
Democrats have supervisor seats in four towns; Republicans are challenging them in one.
Middleburgh and Sharon supervisors’ posts are four-year terms and are not on the ballot this year. Republicans hold both, although it’s unclear what would happen if Sharon’s Tony Desmond, who’s running for sheriff, wins that race.
Although parties had until late Tuesday to fill vacancies on the ballot, a town-by-town look at the 14 supervisor races follows:
Blenheim: Bob Mann, a Republican, is unopposed.
Broome: Marie Campbell, a Democrat, is unopposed.
Carlisle: Incumbent Republican Larry Bradt is being challenged by Democrat Lester Hay.
