Guarino resigns, as Hunter Republicans nominate candidates
Nancy Kern reports for Columbia-Greene Media that, after 15 years, Town of Hunter Republican Committee Chair Gina Guarino has resigned effective Sept. 30. Guarino said, "We slowly changed the face of our village and town by carefully and judiciously seeking out candidates who have since been elected and enhanced our community towards a brighter future. I could not be any prouder of the roads we have carved and the advancements we have made. We left an indelible mark on our town for its future. A chair could not ask for more, and so I do not.” Guarino picked Hunter Town Councilperson Dolph Semenza to run the Republican Caucus on June 1. Sean Mahoney was nominated for reelection as Town Supervisor, and incumbent Republican Raymond Legg and incumbent Democrat David Kukle were nominated to run for reelection on the town boards. Interim Highway Superintendent Bob Blain was nominated for reelection in the November election. The story does not say who will take over Guarino's role as Hunter's Republican chair.
