GLOVERSVILLE Mayor Vincent DeSantis on Wednesday announced his candidacy for re-election.
“This of course will be my last political campaign and, if successful, it will give me the privilege of bringing to fruition the work that has been the focus of my intention for the last several years,” said DeSantis at the Karpeles Museum before a small, socially-distanced group mostly comprised of media.
DeSantis was first elected to city government as the 3rd Ward councilman in 2015 and was later elected councilman-at-large in 2017. He was appointed mayor by the Common Council in January 2019 following the resignation of former mayor, Dayton King. DeSantis was officially elected mayor later that year to fill the remaining two-year unexpired term.
