Cicero, New York: Two candidates are running to replace longtime Cicero Town Court Justice, Carl T. Putzer, who will be retiring from the court at the end of his term. Robert J. Bertrand and Douglas M. DeMarche, Jr. will compete for the Conservative and Independence line in a September 14, 2010 primary election. The winner will run as the Conservative/Indepenent in the November 2nd general election. DeMarche has also received the Republican's nomination and Bertrand the Democrats' nomination.
