SCHENECTADY — The majority of Tuesday’s city voters gave the nod to four people of color in the primary races for City Council last week, and those candidates are poised to take office barring any change in results from absentee voting which begins Monday. One white incumbent councilperson did not make the cut.
Incumbents Marion Porterfield and John Mootooveren, along with candidate Damonni Farley, campaigned together and held off Karen Zalewski-Wildzunas in the race for full, four-year terms on the council.
Porterfield and Farley are Black; Mootooveren is Guyanese. Zalewski-Wildzunas is white.
