Yorktown Supervisor Grace, Justice Lagonia and Legislator Testa to Seek Re-Election

Yorktown Republican Town Committee is expected to announce its first series of endorsements Wednesday night.

Yorktown Republican Town Committee members are expected to announce their endorsements of Yorktown Supervisor Michael Grace, Justice Sal Lagonia and County Legislator John Testa Wednesday night.

The three men are seeking re-election, according to Serafina Mastro, chairwoman of the Yorktown GOP. 

"The candidates have earned the committee's endorsement by their firm commitment to paving the way for new businesses to open in Yorktown, delivering a historic local property tax cut and saving town taxpayers millions through increased local government and courthouse efficiencies and new taxpayer-friendly contracts," Mastro said in a statement.
