On Monday night, May 6 the Orchard Park Republican Committee endorsed Dr. Patrick J. Keem for Supervisor.

Democrat and current Supervisor Janis Coarusso was given the chance to interview with the "OPGOP Search Committee" and was supported by several people on the Republican Committee looking for a cross-endorsement deal with the Democrats. Keem however ended that plan with his stunning victory over Colarusso at the endorsement meeting. A rematch between the two will occur on November 5 in the general election. Keem lost to Colarruso by only 87 votes in 2009 while having only the Republican line. This contest should lead to a very interesting summer in Orchard Park.
