Johnita’s spouse, Andrew Gefell, was petitioned onto the Committee as an incumbent member, and appears on the ballot.
Candidates Frances Reed and Amy Stockwell are supported by Democrats for Brighton, an authorized multi-candidate committee with the dubious distinction of running an all-white slate of 31 candidates across Brighton, as documented in the article Whiter Than A Trump Rally.
Deborah Kornfeld, the final candidate who was petitioned on, does not appear to have registered with the New York State Board of Elections.
