OWEGO, N.Y. (WHCU) — Tioga County is addressing a vacancy on its legislature.
District 7 is not currently represented after the recent passing of Ed Hollenbeck. Residents in the district, which include Newark Valley, Richford, and Berkshire, can submit resumes to the Tioga County Clerk’s office until next Wednesday. Interviews will begin later this month.
Legislators will then appoint someone to serve through the end of the year but would have to run for reelection in November to complete Hollenbeck’s term.
Tioga County Legislative Chair Martha Sauerbrey tells WHCU they have received a few applications so far. Hollenbeck had represented District 7 for 10 years prior to his death in November.
