Salamanca has Democratic, Republican primaries for mayor

LITTLE VALLEY — A three-way Democratic primary race for Salamanca mayor and a two-way Republican primary will be held Sept.13.

There are also Democratic primaries for councilman in Wards 1 and 4, and a Republican primary for councilman in Ward 2.

Salamanca Mayor Ronald Ball, a Democrat who won on the Republican ticket two years ago, will face Michael R. “Smitty” Smith, and also Joel E. Talbot, the endorsed Democratic candidate, in a Democratic primary.

Ball will also face Smith in the Republican primary.

City Republicans previously endorsed Robert Early, a former Cattaraugus County deputy treasurer. However, the city Republican Committee met abruptly about two weeks ago to rescind that endorsement and instead allowed both Smith and Ball to enter into a Republican primary. Early did not submit nominating petitions. For the full article click here
