Shelby GOP chairman appreciates support for endorsed candidates at spaghetti dinner

Editor:

The Shelby Republican Committee held its spaghetti dinner fundraiser March 29th at the Knights of Columbus. I would like to say thank you to all that attended, to the Knights for being a gracious host and the various businesses that made donations.

It was a wonderful evening having our endorsed candidates – Scott Wengewicz for Shelby Supervisor, and Mike Moriarty and Vassilios Bitsas for town council member positions –available to answer questions and hear concerns of our constituents.

 As the weather warms up we are looking forward to going door to door to continue introducing the three endorsed candidates and answer any questions you may have as we approach the Republican primary election on June 24th.

Scott is the incumbent for Town Supervisor. He started his position with the Christmas blizzard of 2022, being the 4th Supervisor in Shelby since 2020. In the last 2-plus years he has extinguished many fires the town has been battling. We look forward to seeing more positive leadership from him in the future.

Mike and Vassilios might be new to the political scene, but they are ready to fight for the residents. Both are no-nonsense local businessmen. Mike is the general manager at Pride Pak while Vassilios who lives in the village manages & helps his family with their many restaurants. I have enjoyed getting to know these young men and I believe they will bring a much needed fresh mindset to the Town Board.

As many of you know where there are politics there will be unfortunate drama – at least how it seems in Shelby. I hope you, the voter, will do your due diligence to research and get to know all candidates before you cast your vote.

I would like to invite all persons running in the Shelby Republican Primary to a date in May for a debate. I believe it is important to our town constituents to attend and ask their questions, bring up concerns and be able to hear all persons running express their views under one roof not just read one-sided post cards with no explanation to “facts” given.

Candidates will be mailed an invitation and I will inform the public when a date and location is secured.

Thank you,

Dale Root

Town of Shelby Republican Chairman
