North East Town Board candidates selected

MILLERTON — At a caucus of the North East Democratic Committee on July 20, two candidates appeared seeking the party’s endorsement for the remaining one-year term for the seat vacated by Griffin Cooper.

Rachele Grieco Cole, a newcomer to town politics, was selected over Chris Mayville, a Republican, by a vote of 21 to 8.
Regardless of party affiliation any town resident can seek the Democratic endorsement. By the petition process Mayville was picked to appear on the Republican ticket in April. Consequently, Mayville and Grieco Cole will face off again in the November elections vying for the one-year seat. Currently Mayville is completing his first one-year term on the town board.

At the caucus Grieco Cole introduced herself to the caucus attendees. She is currently employed as a grants administrator for New York Law School and volunteers for Project Sage, formerly Women’s Support Services, a Salisbury, Conn., based nonprofit that assists victims of domestic violence. Her goals, according to a press release issued by the Democratic Party are, “Finding new grant opportunities, increasing community safety, particularly reducing speeding, renewing the ambulance contract at a reasonable cost, increasing government transparency and better protecting our environment.”

Early voting starts on October 26 this year.
