SCHENECTADY Two more hopefuls have entered the expanding field for City Council seats.
Thearse McCalmon and William Rivas, both Democrats, jointly announced their candidacies Friday. Each have established bonafides in city politics, and said in a statement their “independent approach would provide fresh ideas and solutions to issues within the city.”
Rivas, a longtime community activist, played a leading role in the Black Lives Matter movement last summer, and sits on the steering committee guiding the city’s state-mandated police reform efforts.
