Candidates, proposals set for general election ballots

With early voting mail ballots going out and the polls opening in less than a month, who will appear as candidates for area voters in the mail and at the polls?

At the state level, a single ballot initiative will appear. The proposal amends the state Constitution to allow the use of 323 acres of the Adirondack Forest Preserve to create new Nordic ski and biathlon trails at the Olympic Sports Complex in North Elba, Essex County. An additional 2,500 acres are to be added to the preserve to offset the usage.

State Supreme Court justices are to be elected. The Eighth Judicial district covers Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming counties. Candidates on the ballot in all of those counties include Jorge deRosas on the Democratic, Republican and Conservative lines; and Shannon Heneghan on the Democratic, Republican, Conservative and Working Families lines.
