Reed About Politics: Homer Prepares for Mayoral Election
Reed Cleland
When it comes to politics, every voice matters.
We have all seen the signs popping up around town. On March 21st, residents of Homer, New York, will determine the identity of their next mayor!
Our nation operates on a two-party system. From presidents to school board members, politicians of every level tend to identify as either a Republican or a Democrat. This will hold true with Homer’s two mayoral candidates.
Hoping to win re-election is current Republican Mayor Genevieve Suits. Suits is hoping to turn out her loyal supporters who have kept her in office since 2011.
The challenger is Democrat Darren “Hal” McCabe. He is hoping to mobilize support by emphasizing his political background and service as the Outreach Director for Cornell University’s FarmNet.
Elections will be held in the Paul Hill Memorial Community Building, located behind the Homer Fire Station. There seems to be a lot riding on this election, as the previous one was decided by fifteen votes.
When it comes to politics, every voice matters.
