Foss: Exciting City Council race taking shape

Foss: Exciting Schenectady City Council race taking shape | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
I’m always hoping for interesting and competitive local elections, and I almost never get them.
Most contests are lopsided and listless affairs that pit strong, heavily-favored candidates against long-shots and dark horses.
The result is low voter turnout and diminished citizen engagement, as people survey the local political landscape and conclude that voting doesn’t matter. It’s a trend we’ve seen play out in the city of Schenectady, where general election turnout is often quite low.
There’s no excuse for low turnout this fall. ....

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.
He was instrumental in creating a panel of community members to interview recruits to the city police department, a measure given a nod by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in one of his State of State addresses last week. Rivas is executive director of the C.O.C.O.A House and a program director for the Altamont Program. ....
