Noah Zweifel reports in the Altamont Enterprise that in 2021 Republicans and Democrats in Westerlo endorsed the same slate of candidates, except for town justice. This year, every seat is contested. Democrats have endorsed Bill Morin, who owns Morin’s Body Works, for supervisor; incumbent Conservative Peter Mahan for town board; and Beau Loendorf, an event planner and the planning board chair, for town board. Republicans nominated incumbent supervisor Matt Kryzak; incumbent Amie Burnside for town board; and William Hall, who owns Fresh Starts Family Farm in Westerlo and is on the planning board, for town board. Kryzak and Morin and planning board member Angela Carkner each tried to get the supervisor nomination from both parties. There was cross-party endorsements for incumbent Town Clerk Karla Weaver, and for town highway superintendent Jody Ostrander. Voting takes place this year in late October and early November.
