Town Supervisor incumbent Fred Costello Jr. and County Legislature District 2 candidate John Schoonmaker enjoyed victories in their primary races Tuesday.

On June 25, the pair will face off in a primary for the Independence party line on the November 5 generally election ballot; currently, Costello has secured endorsements with the Democratic and Working Families parties, while Andreassen will hold Republican and Conservative party lines. Regardless of the outcome of this first skirmish, the two will again square off in the November general election.
