Political Petitions Have Been Turned In Here In Steuben Co, And Two Petitions Have Been Objected To

Political petitions to run for office locally were turned in to the Steuben County Board of Elections on April 3, and a hearing is coming up on political petition objections on Tuesday April 22, at 2pm at the Board of Elections Office in Bath. There have been two petitions objected to so far. One is Conservative party Jennifer Mullen’s petition, who was running for Steuben County Legislator. Mullen’s petition was objected to by her Republican opponent Justin Eberlin. That’s for Steuben County District 13: Corning, Caton and Hornby. Eberlin and Mullen are running for the Carol Ferratella seat in District 13, as Ferratella is not seeking reelection.

The other petition that was objected to, is a Hornell City Democrat’s Sean Stewart’s petition to run for 8th ward alderman against incumbent, Republican Jim Bassage, was objected to by Hornell 8th ward resident Daniel Smith.
