Our Town Board Candidates: Paula Randall for Supervisor; Lily Maira and Stan Main for Town Council
We meet the first Thursday of the month. This January we may have no meeting, or meet a little later in a different location since the school will be closed. In December, we will have our meeting on Thursday, the 5th, in our room at the Churchville Chili Middle School - see directions on the right. Candidates will be there for you to meet and ask questions. At this time we have 2 candidates for NY Senate district 61 -Joan Seamans, who ran last year, and Kim Smith. There may be additional candidates as well for different positions. We will have our Designation Caucus on the 5th for those candidates we are aware of. Even if you are just a visitor, we welcome your attendance. You will not be able to vote at the caucus however. As you can see from the banner in our heading, we had candidates for Town Board this year. For a democracy to succeed, you need a choice of candidates. We hope you will consider our candidates to bring some difference of view point to town board. Thank you for voting for our candidates. These are some the issues we would pursue if elected: A Community Center Improve Townwide Drainage Better Recycle Bins with Lids A Railroad Overpass on Sanford Road N Proactively Ban Fracking in Riga Here is a look at our candidates:  Your ideas for any of our events are always welcome. This school year we meet the 1st Thursday of the month. All meetings are at 7:00pm . Please plan to come - any registered Democrat is welcome. Meetings are free. Our officers are: Bonnie Loser - Chairman and Leader; John Loser - Treasurer; and Bill Shirtz - Secretary. This year (2019) we have been busy. In July, we had a free pizza party for those on our contact list. It was fun to taste pizzas from around the area. Six different pizza shops were invited. We had our annual summer picnic at our August meeting. We also had a booth in the Lion's Club Country Fair in August, and walked in their parade with some of our county-wide candidates. Most of the candidates have come to our regular meetings to introduce themselves, and let us ask them questions. At the end August we had our annual progressive garden viewing party and saw 3 lovely gardens/properties here in Riga on a beautiful summer day. We already have some plans for this next summer. Then in September we had our yearly fund raising dinner and silent auction at Mill Creek Golf Club. Before the election in November, we continued to distribute lawn signs and campaign literature. Tell us your issues. We are always looking for more members to join the Riga Democratic Committee. It is a good way to do your civic duty and meet folks, and potentially start your political career!
