Kenmore – Erie County District 10 Legislator Michele M. Iannello (D-Kenmore) will make her official announcement of candidacy for the 61st Senate district on Saturday March 29th at 10:30 in front of the Kenmore Municipal Building. The Municipal building in the Village of Kenmore is located on Delaware Avenue where it meets Delaware Road.
Iannello will announce her intention to seek the Democratic endorsement for the open 61st Senate seat. She will also seek the endorsement from the Independence Party and the Working Families Party.

“I look forward to an issue based campaign. I am excited to take my proven record of fighting for change and defending the middle class to the voters in the district,” explained Iannello.

Iannello has already received numerous endorsements in the race. Among her endorsers are; City of Tonawanda Council members Colleen Perkins, Gary Waterhouse, Jim Kossow, and Rick Davis, City of Tonawanda Council President Carl Zeisz, Erie County Democratic Committee Vice Chair and City of Towanda Democratic Committee Chair Gayle Syposs, the Town of Clarence Supervisor Scott Bylewski, Batavia City Council President Charlie Mallow, Town of Le Roy Council member Susan Bell, and Former Village of Le Roy Mayor Jim DeLooze.

“I would strongly encourage my opponents to put their egos aside and work to unite the Democratic Party behind the candidate who receives the endorsement. We can change Albany but we need to work together not against each other,” said Iannello.

The 61st State Senate district is made up of the Towns of Amherst, Clarence, Newstead and Tonawanda and part of the City of Tonawanda in Erie County and all of Genesee County. The incumbent, Senator Mary Lou Rath, has decided to retire at the end of her term.
