The Wellsville/Andover district has three open seats in the county legislature up for grabs. McAndrew is one of four candidates, and one of two challengers in the race. He joins Fellow Republican James Rumfelt, in challenging Republican incumbents Steven Havey and Gary Barnes in a June 22nd primary election. Today’s drawing for ballot placement was especially fortuitous for McAndrew as his name sits at the top of the ballot.
McAndrew wants to introduce himself to the voter in a way that is straightforward and to the point :
“My name is Greg McAndrew and I am a candidate for District 4 (Wellsville, Andover) for the Allegany County Legislature.
