HAMBURG, N.Y. (WKBW) â Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw now has a challenger in the race of Hamburg Town Supervisor.
Thursday morning, Hamburg resident Randy Hoak announced his candidacy for Hamburg Town Supervisor.
The 42-year-old is the Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the Erie County Department of Social Services. He began this job in the beginning of February, weeks before announcing his candidacy. Previously, he worked at the non-profit AARP in Western and Central New York, and before that, he was the Commissioner of Erie County Senior Services.
WBFO's Michael Mroziak reports.
By a 6 to 5 vote, the Erie County Legislature has approved County Executive Mark Poloncarz’s restoration of a Special Assistant to the Social Services Commissioner. It returns a job that was eliminated last year, but now includes a nearly $20,000 raise that would bring the salary up to just under $100,000.

Prior to the Erie County Legislature's full meeting Thursday morning, lawmakers held a joint caucus meeting during which Social Services Commissioner Marie Cannon defended the restored position. When asked what the new hire would do, she stated the individual would handle mostly day-to-day operations. Cannon added that with the state government imposing more responsibilities on county offices during the COVID pandemic, she needs help to get caught up with an increased workload.
