BRIGHTON, N.Y. — Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law moving local elections to even years to boost voter turnout. On Wednesday, Brighton Town Supervisor Bill Moehle announced his reelection bid.
“Brighton is the leader for good government and good government policy in the Rochester area,” Moehle said.
Moehle said he is committed to creating more walkable and bikeable infrastructure in Brighton.
Moehle is facing a primary challenge from town board member Nate Salzman. Moehle’s campaign focuses on vibrant commercial centers and affordable energy.
Moehle said he is thrilled to run again with other Democratic town supervisors like Jenn Townsend in Perinton. “I’m really excited and look forward to working with them as they run for reelection this year,” he said.
Brighton Town Council member Christopher Werner said aligning local and national elections will raise voter turnout and lower election costs. “It saves a lot of money not to have those odd year elections. So those two things together just make sense,” Werner said.
Moehle emphasized the importance of voter turnout. “The democratic system is something I believe passionately about. Voter turnout in those even numbered years is significantly higher than it is in the odd years,” Moehle said.
Elections will take place on Nov. 3. A list of offices to be elected can be found on the Monroe County website.
In a statement, Salzman said, “We need a town government that partners with residents and businesses, removes unnecessary obstacles, and gets things done without adding red tape.”
