This year, Brighton residents will cast their ballots for four town positions, two state Supreme Court judgeships and a Family Court judge.
To help inform your vote, we sent brief questionnaires through the party chairpersons to all candidates in contested races. Those with expanded information and photos below responded to the questionnaire. Responses have been lightly edited for clarity and space.
Early voting is available to all voters in Monroe County from Saturday, Oct. 25 through Sunday, Nov. 2. Polls are open for regular voting between 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4.
You can look up where you can vote on Election Day at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov. Check back with the Democrat and Chronicle for the full election results as they become available.
Brighton Town Supervisor
William W. Moehle, D (incumbent)
Brighton Town Clerk
Daniel E. Aman, D (incumbent)
Brighton Town Board (2)
Christine E. Corrado, D (incumbent)
Age: 58
Current or prior elected office: Seeking a third term as a Brighton Town Councilmember; currently serving on the board.
Professional experience: Taught Spanish in the U.S. and English in Spain. Later transitioned to fundraising for higher education and nonprofit leadership for 25 years. Currently a freelance writer, editor and voiceover professional (including live audio description for the blind and low vision), in addition to being a primary caregiver for a disabled family member.
Top priority: I am dedicated to breaking down barriers to living, working, and doing business in Brighton. Some barriers, like zoning codes, make it challenging to launch the businesses Brightonians want. Other barriers hinder personal mobility in Brighton. By targeting outdated zoning code, the community’s vision of vibrant business corridors can flourish. By solving mobility issues — sidewalks, bike lanes, traffic calming, public transit — I am making Brighton’s parks, library, recreation programs, neighborhoods, streets, trails, and business corridors more accessible to everyone while enhancing overall quality of life.
Clara Sanguinetti, D
Age: 37
Current or prior elected office: None.
Professional experience: Previously a senior fixed income analyst working in municipal finance. Currently working as a financial advisor.
Top priority: As a Brighton resident and working parent, I’m committed to helping our town grow thoughtfully and inclusively. My priorities include updating our town code to encourage mixed-use development that revitalizes commercial areas, supports local businesses, and broadens our tax base to ease the burden on families. I’ll advocate for continued investment in public infrastructure and community spaces that make Brighton a wonderful place to live. And I’ll work to strengthen communication and transparency so every resident feels informed, included, and empowered to help shape our town’s future.
Robin R. Wilt, WF (incumbent)
