The town supervisor, clerk, highway superinten­dent and two Town Board members are all running unopposed for re-election.

All will be on the Democratic and Working Families Party lines on the ballot.

Supervisor Bill McKenna, 54, of 1 Hutchin Hill Road, is seeking a second two-year term.

He was a Town Board member from 2004 to 2007 and from 2009 to 2017.

McKenna was appointed town supervisor in January 2017, after Supervisor Jeremy Wilber died, and was elected to a full two-year term in November 2017.

McKenna has lived in Woodstock for 28 years.

Councilwom­an Laura Ricci, 63, of 121 Whitney Lane, is running for her second four-year term on the Town Board. Councilman Reginald Earls, 37, of 144 MacDaniel Road, is seeking a full four-year term after being elected last year to fill a vacant seat. Ricci has lived in Woodstock since 1980, Earls since 2006.

Town Clerk Jacquelyn Earley, 63, of 27 Schoonmake­r Lane, is seeking a sixth term. Earley has lived in Woodstock for 59 years.

Highway Superinten­dent Mike Reynolds, 66, of 121 Ostrander Road, also is seeking a sixth term. He is a lifelong resident of Woodstock.

Earley’s and Reynolds’ first four terms were two years each. Then, due to a voter-approved change, the terms were lengthened to four years starting in January 2016.

Voters can cast their ballots at any of Ulster County’s eight early voting sites between Oct. 26 and Nov. 3. Election Day is Nov. 5.
