This year, Webster 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.

Webster Town Supervisor
Sean T. Hanna, R, C
Age: 63
Current or prior elected office: Previously served on the Monroe County Legislature and New York State Assembly.
Professional experience: Attorney and business owner.
Top priority: We need to substantially slow both development and government spending. Revitalizing the Xerox campus is key to generating the tax revenue that we need to provide proper services to senior citizens. And since nobody is creating new open spaces, we desperately need to preserve the natural resources that we have.
Alex Scialdone, D, WF
Age: 37
Current or prior elected office: None.
Professional experience: 20 years of varied roles throughout Wegmans throughout store operations, corporate and distribution including training, freight reduction and sustainability.
Top priority: Slowing down our growth: Our town is rapidly expanding with little benefit to our residents. Our bonding has tripled over five years, our green space is vanishing at an alarming rate, and the accountability of town government is in question. It is time for change; it is time to bring public service back to Webster.
Webster Town Board (2)
Chris Brown, R, C
No reply received in time.
Nick Hunter, D, WF
Age: 36
Current or prior elected office: None.
Professional experience: I have worked in finance and insurance for 15 years. Most recently, I am a risk manager with a medical malpractice insurance carrier. I have a track record of practical problem-solving, transparency, and accountability.
Top priority: My top issue surrounds zoning and housing affordability. Our town can make smarter zoning and development decisions to make Webster more affordable to move. Our population is aging and our school enrollment is decreasing. We need to be consequential thinkers in local government.
Ginny Nguyen, R, C (incumbent)
No reply received in time.
Garrett J. Wagner, D, WF
No reply received in time.
Webster Town Justice
Brittany LC Bonanno, D, WF, Judicial Integrity
Age: 39
Current or prior elected offices: None
Professional experience: I have 14 years of experience in law enforcement with the State of New York. Within the last year, I transitioned to Xerox as a Global Corporate Investigator.
Top priority: The primary focus driving my candidacy has always been Webster Community First. Politics can be deeply polarizing, and when our spaces become so divided, our shared humanity is often lost. I am committed to ensuring fair, accessible, and community-centered justice in Webster. I have seen firsthand how the courts impact individuals, families, and neighborhoods, and I believe every person deserves equal treatment under the law, regardless of background or circumstance. Rather than engaging in partisan debates, my campaign is centered on strengthening public trust in the justice system through transparency, ethical decision-making, and genuine responsiveness to the community I serve.
Thomas J. DiSalvo, R, C (incumbent)
Age: 72
Current or prior elected offices: I have been a Webster Town Justice for over 24 years. Prior to that, I served as a Webster deputy town attorney for about 5 years. I was assigned to the planning board. I also prosecuted town code violations and Article 78 cases for the Town of Webster.
Professional experience: As an attorney in general private practice for 42 years, I have litigated both civil and criminal cases. I have represented clients in both bench and jury trials, in the town, city, county, family and supreme court. I have also handled appeals before the Fourth Department Appellate Division. As a town justice I have presided over hundreds of hearings and trials and over jury trials. My experience includes presiding over hundreds of arraignments in Webster Town Court. I am also presiding over arraignments in the county-wide Centralized Arraignment Part. I am still practicing law on a full-time basis.
Issues of importance: The top issue that defines my candidacy is to preside over cases with fairness and impartiality. The Justice Courts are the courts closest to the people, which means that for most people, the Justice Court is their first and only experience with the justice system and the courts. So, it is imperative that that the litigants in my court feel that they have been treated with respect and that their case was decided in accordance with the law.
