By russ tArBy Contributing Writer

This year, for the first time in 22 years, Democrats have fielded candidates for village offices. Last week, the Star-Review profiled the two mayoral candidates, Republican Christina Fadden and Democrat Stacy Finney, and this week we focus on the four candidates for trustee.

Voters will cast ballots in the election village between noon and 9 p.m. Tuesday, June 20, at the Village Hall, 310 Sycamore St.

Here in alphabetical order, the Democratic duo will be followed by the two Republican candidates, including one incumbent.

Trustees serve two-year terms and are paid $6,000 annually.

“After having the opportunity to live in some of our country’s greatest cities on both coasts, my husband and I decided that we wanted to move back to the village of Liverpool to raise a family,” she said. “My time away from CNY allowed me to appreciate just how special a community the village of Liverpool is.”

Over the past decade Cassidy has served as treasurer of the Liverpool Elementary PFO, is currently serving a second term on the village’s zoning board, and is a member of Paws in Motion, HumaneCNY’s dog-walking group.

Among the issues on which Cassidy is focused are enhancing the walkability of the community.
