Only one candidate turns in petition to run for Medina Village Board
MEDINA – Only one person turned in petitions to run for a trustee position on the Medina Village Board. Tuesday was the deadline to turn in petitions signed by at least 100 registered voters in the village.
James “Scott” Bieliski is the lone person to turn in the petitions. He will run under the independent “For the People” party.
There are two trustee positions up for election in Medina. The spots are for two-year terms for positions currently filled by Jess Marciano and Diana Baker.
Neither Marciano or Baker circulated petitions. Marciano said she will consider running a write-in campaign to stay on the board and keep projects moving forward, including the purchase of a new ladder truck and an addition on the fire hall. Marciano helped lead the effort to downsize an addition on the fire hall from an estimated $6 million a year ago to the latest estimate at about $1 million.
The election on March 18 is from noon to 9 p.m. at the Senior Center on West Avenue. The winners in the election will start their terms on April 1.
