Three Clarence Republicans don't have to worry much about what happens on Election Day because their victories are all but assured.
Town Democrats didn't field candidates to run against two incumbent Town Board members seeking re-election nor did they find anyone to campaign for a vacancy on the Town Board.
Councilmen Peter T. DiCostanzo, also the deputy supervisor, and Paul Shear are running unopposed on the Republican and Conservative lines.
Daniel A. Michnik, the town GOP chairman, seeks a Town Board seat left vacant since January, when then-Councilman Christopher Greene moved to the Erie County Legislature.
In 2019, when two board seats and the supervisor's post were up for grabs, Democrats didn't field a candidate then, either.
This year, again, "No one stepped up to run. And although that is unfortunate, it is understandable given the Covid-19 pandemic," said Rebecca Bylewski, Clarence Democratic chairwoman.
