GLENVILLE - With Republican Town Supervisor Chris Koetzle set to vie for a fourth term, Democrat Town Board member Mike Aragosa says the community doesn t need a career politician who he portrayed as adversarial and a micromanager.
On Tuesday, Aragosa kicked off his political campaign to unseat Koetzle this year, in a pivotal race in a key battleground municipality that will determine the balance of power on a 5-member governing body where Republicans currently hold a 3-2 majority.
The 57-year-od Aragosa, who is running with incumbent Town Board member Michael Godlewski and Jenny Lippman, a political newcomer, said he is running to give people a choice.

Democratic Town Councilman Mike Aragosa will be running for town supervisor this fall, taking on six-term incumbent Republican Supervisor Chris Koetzle, who is expected to seek re-election.
Aragosa, 57, who was elected to the Town Board in 2017, was endorsed last week by the Scotia-Glenville Democratic Committee. He is currently owner of MMAragosa Home Services, but from 1998 until last summer was co-owner and vice-president of Marty’s True Value Hardware in Schenectady. For six years, he was president of the Northside Business Association.
“As supervisor, I will use the leadership skills I developed over 22 years running a small business to help grow our existing businesses and ensure that Glenville is a place where people want to come to do business,” Aragosa said in announcing his candidacy Tuesday.
