LEWISTON REPUBLICANS SWEEP

 LEWISTON, COLONIAL VILLAGE, SANBORN FAMILIES HAVE SPOKEN - A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP

Pictured above (L-R) – Town of Lewiston Supervisor elect Steven Reiter, Lewiston Republican Chair Rob Nichols, Lewiston Town Council elect  Mike Marra and Village of Lewiston Trustee Ron Winkley.   

Election Day in Lewiston, the Republican dominance was highlight  in Lewiston Sanborn and Colonial Village.  Voters opted for a leadership change and they swept out the Town Board Democratic majority. Steve Reiter, that current serves as town highway superintendent, won a contested race for town supervisor over the three term incumbent. And voters elected Mike Marra, as a new council member, and returned incumbent Town Board member Alphonso Marra Bax,to the board, giving the GOP a 4-1 majority.

Mike Marra, who serves as a Village of Lewiston trustee and won the second seat with 2,257 votes, or 34.73 percent, agreed. “I’m excited about the opportunity the voters in the Town of Lewiston have given me,” he said. “I’ll certainly do my best to serve them well. I will address every issue that comes about, and I’ll try to be as informed as I can. I certainly understand the ramifications of every vote I make. I’ll try to serve them well; that’s what public service is all about.”

"... It's everything that we worked for we met our goal..." said Republican Chair Rob Nichols "... this proves that grass root efforts are still viable in Lewiston and Niagara County..."

"I believe the incumbent administration underestimated the public impact of their decisions - but this was but one factor that decided the outcome of this election.  We ran a very clean campaign that spoke to the issues and our positions.  Whereas they choose to employee individuals to frame a negative message to the community in the final days of the campaign – this backfired.  Unsigned letters and flyers full of distortion and mistruths are no way to run a campaign.  The people of Lewiston are tired of this type of negativity, that why they voted for change”
"I’m just in awe … humbled by the people coming out of their homes to take the time to vote for me,” said Reiter, who more than edged out the incumbent, wining  all 13 districts and accumulated  55% of the vote
