Press release:
The Town of Batavia Republican Committee on Wednesday night threw its support behind Gregory Post for another term as supervisor.
“I truly appreciate the endorsement and pledge to continue to operate town business in a most efficient manner while always keeping an open-door policy to any and all residents of our community who wish to be heard,” said Post, who has been in that position since 2005.
He received the endorsement in a vote of the 21 committee members present at the meeting at the Town Hall on West Main Street Road.
Jim Ward, who serves on the board of directors of the Town of Batavia Fire Department, also sought the endorsement of the Town GOP.
In the only other contest for endorsement leading up to the November election, Amy DiSalvo got the nod for the town clerk position, defeating current Town Clerk Jennifer Zambito.
“I’ve always admired town government and what it does for the community,” said DiSalvo, a town resident since 2001. “It really was something that I’ve wanted to be a part of.”
An employee at Wortzman Furniture in Batavia for the past 29 years, DiSalvo said her priority, if elected, is to “work together as a team to do the best we can for the community.”
The committee also endorsed Daniel Underhill and Patti Michalak, current Town Board members; Town Justice Andrew Young, and Highway Superintendent Raymond Tourt, all uncontested.
