Kevin Quigley was elected on Tuesday as Cornwall town supervisor to replace Richard Randazzo, who is leaving office at the end of 2007.
Quigley, a Cornwall native r, received 1,671 votes on the Republican and Conservative tickets, according to the unofficial tally.
Quigley joined six other Conservative and Republican candidates who were re-elected to their seats on Tuesday. Kerry McGuinness and Randy Clark were re-elected to the town board and judges Francis Navarra and Joseph Thomson were tapped to serve another term. Town Clerk Elaine T. Schneer, who has served in the office for 29 years, and Receiver of Taxes Elizabeth Longinott, who has served for 26 years, were both re-elected. None of these candidates faced any challengers.
In the supervisor’s race, former supervisor Jim Sollami, a Democrat, received 19 write-in votes and former supervisor Helen Bunt, who had challenged Quigley for the Republican nomination, received four write-in votes, although one of them was cast for her as Supreme Court judge.
With no Democratic candidates on the ballot, the low-key race failed to raise debate about the issues facing the town, although it did keep spending by candidates to a minimum. Quigley said that he spent about $1,200 --$1,300 on his campaign, most of it during the Republican primary.
Town board candidates Randy Clark and Kerry McGuinness both said they recycled signs from their prior campaign. Clark said he found six signs that he put up and McGuinness said he found only four that he posted in the final days before the election.
Outgoing supervisor Richard Randazzo was present for the vote tally on Tuesday evening and he expressed more excitement about the future than regret about leaving the town office, where he has served for a total of 20 years.
“I’m happy with my decision,” he said, “and I’m looking forward to 2008.” Randazzo said he plans to declare his candidacy for the state assembly early next year, challenging assemblywoman Nancy Calhoun for her seat.
