The Town, and our committee, lose a treasure.
It is with deepest sadness that we announce that Town Board member and Town of Canandaigua Republican Committee member Gary Davis lost his battle with cancer. Our town lost a valuable asset in Gary’s deep knowledge and understanding of agriculture and dairy farming. We all lost a kind and wonderful human being! Our committee extends our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gary’s family.

Gerrymandering Laws Struck!!
New York to move some primaries to August after court tosses maps
A New York judge ordered Friday that the state’s congressional and state Senate primaries be delayed until Aug. 23 to provide enough time to replace district maps that were ruled unconstitutional this week.
State Judge Patrick McAllister moved the primaries back from their original date of June 28. He said the independent expert he tasked with helping him craft new maps, special master Jonathan Cervas, will finish drawing districts by May 20.
In the meantime, state and local election officials will prepare to once again hold separate primaries in June and August. Lawmakers in 2019 consolidated the primaries to save money, increase voter turnout and make the process less confusing for the public.
New York is set to hold gubernatorial and state Assembly primaries in June, unless lawmakers decide to delay.
New York’s highest court rejected Wednesday new congressional and state senate maps that had widely been seen as favoring Democrats.
The majority decision largely agreed with Republican voters who argued the district boundaries were unconstitutionally gerrymandered. More on court decision:
