Holley elects Bedard, Moroz as village trustees

HOLLEY – Village of Holley residents elected Brenden Bedard and Rochelle Moroz to four-year terms as village trustees today.

Bedard received the most votes at 137, followed by Moroz at 102. Ron Vendetti was a close third at 93 votes.

Bedard works as assistant director for the Genesee & Orleans County Health Departments. His father, Kevin Bedard, has previously served as a Holley village trustee.

Moroz was re-elected to another term. She has been on the board for nearly a decade.

She was the only candidate who waited outside the village office for the votes to be tallied. The results were announced at about 10 p.m., an hour after the polls closed.

“I like to represent the village,” Moroz said.

She takes frequent walks around the community, and enjoys hearing from residents.

She was pleased to see a good turnout today.

Rainey Losee, the Holley village clerk, also said it was a good showing from the village voters.

“I’m proud of our village residents coming out and having their voices be heard,” she said after the results were announced.

Bedard will replace Jim DeFilipps on the board. DeFillipps didn’t seek re-election after 10 years on the board.

The new terms will start on July 1.
