GENESEO – Livingston County’s longest-serving incumbent mayor is running for reelection.
Richard Hatheway says that his long service is a strength to his candidacy.
“I’m thinking there’s some necessity continuing some degree of the experience that I bring to the table,” said Hatheway. “Caususes are at the end of the month, so we’ll see where we stand then.”
No one else has come forward publicly as a Geneseo mayoral candidate.
Hatheway has spent 35 years on the Geneseo Village Board, four of which he spent as a Trustee and 31 of which he spent as Mayor.
The Village’s Democratic caucus is Monday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Geneseo Village Building.
The Livingston County Board of Elections has not yet posted an official date for the Republican caucus.
