Niagara Falls Republican Committee Seeks Candidates for 2019 Election
SharefXin
The Niagara Falls Republican Committee announced that it is
accepting applications from individuals who wish to be candidates on the party’s ticket for the following
seats up for grabs for 2019: Niagara Falls Mayor, Niagara Falls City Council, and Niagara County
Legislature’s 3 rd , 4 th , and 5 th Districts.
William Carroll, Chairman for the city’s GOP committee, noted that due to the recent changes in New
York State’s election laws, the call for candidates has been moved up significantly. The NYS Legislature
recently voted to change the State’s Primary election date to June. This requires candidates to collect
petition signatures during March if they intend to be on the Primary ballot for any party. Traditionally,
state and local primaries have taken place in September, with petition season beginning in June.
“The NYS Legislature handed us this card and we need to mobilize our people quickly to help any
candidates that want to be on the ballot come June for the Republican line,” Carroll said. “This is an
extremely important year for Niagara Falls, as we decide who will be our next mayor. There are also two
council seats as well as legislature seats at stake.”
Carroll stated that interested candidates should submit their letters of interest to the Niagara Falls GOP
Box 372, 2315 Whirlpool Street. Niagara Falls NY 14305. Please include resume, position platform, and
letter of intent. The deadline for submissions February 10. The petition process begins late February.

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future. But unfortunately, most of the time, promises have fallen flat for the City of Niagara Falls, some succeeding but many turning out to be empty promises and major disappointments. At this point, Niagara Falls doesn’t need more failed promises. What the city needs is progress to build a better future and a plan to make it work. City leadership must bring it all together. While there are promises to build a better future on the table and being talked about, like Centennial Park and the Niagara Digital

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
