LOWVILLE â Three Lewis County legislator races will see candidates vying for the top position in the Republican and Conservative primaries on June 22, but in one of those races, only one candidate wants to win.
In the Republican and Conservative primaries, voters will see two candidates on the ballot â Jeffrey G. Nellenback and Lawrence Hoffert â for the District 10 legislator position in the towns of Lewis and Leyden being vacated by Jerry King after 15 years.
Mr. Nellenback, who decided to run because he was âbegged to do it,â said Saturday that he has since realized that his many commitments with the fire department, as a Christmas tree farmer and volunteer work with local cemeteries would make it impossible for him to do the job of legislator.

An organizer of charity that gives Christmas dinners to families in need says COVID-19 hasn’t slowed them down.
Seasonal Services organizer Joe Praught says they will still be delivering their food boxes around Port Hawkesbury.
Praught tells The Hawk they try to put in everything you would normally have at Christmas time.
“We start with a turkey, we go with potatoes, carrots, turnips, apples, oranges, stuffing, canned cranberry, a bottle of juice, a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk, candies.”
Praught says they start collecting donations from local businesses, churches, and individuals in October.
CONCORD â Bret Achtenhagen, representing Bret Achtenhagenâs Seasonal Services of Mukwonago, along with his lawyer and associate, approached the Concord Town Board with a proposal to rezone part or all of an 82 acre parcel of A-1 to A-2, C, or business zone.
After a lengthy discussion, the board denied the request.
Achtenhagen requested a conditional use permit for the operation of a landscape contractor business, a retail and wholesale nursery and garden center, and entrepreneurial suites. The property is located southwest of County Highway F and the Interstate 94 interchange. Achtenhagen said the business could possibly employee 100 to 150 people.
The treasurerâs report, along with payment of monthly bills, were approved.
