NORWOOD â Attorney Alexander Lesyk has entered the race for St. Lawrence County Family Court judge.
Mr. Lesyk, of Norwood, announced his candidacy Wednesday morning and circulated nominating petitions around the village Wednesday night.
Running as a Democrat, Mr. Lesyk will face Republican challenger Andrew S. Moses, who announced his bid for the judge seat in February.
Current Family Court Judge Cecily L. Morris, whose 10-year term ends on Dec. 31, is not seeking re-election. Judge Morris, who defeated Mr. Moses in 2011, succeeded Judge Barbara R. Potter. Both women served single terms after Judge David S. Nelson held the position from 1983 until his 2001 retirement.
