The race for Erie County comptroller may not sound terribly sexy, but voters should definitely mark it down as one to watch.
The race pits an Army reservist and former town clerk against a well-known television news personality and public relations spokesman.
Appointed Democratic incumbent David J. Shenk has touted his fiscal experience, in-house accomplishments and long military service, while Republican Stefan Mychajliw has promoted his working-class origins, investigative reporting work and commitment to political independence.
