Susan Smith and Walt Borowiec have officially announced their candidacies for Sweden Town Board. Running on the Democratic ticket, they seek two councilperson seats in the upcoming election on November 7, 2017.
Susan Smith has called Brockport/Sweden her home since 1981. Professionally, she has worked as an administrative assistant and has volunteered at the Brockport Central Schools. Smith has developed websites, managed social media, maintained a YouTube channel, produced videos and designed advertisements. These valuable skills benefitted others throughout her years of volunteerism, lending support to local governments by providing better communication and greater transparency.
Walt Borowiec moved to the Village of Brockport in 1980 after selling his farm in Holley. He taught political science at the College at Brockport for over thirty years. His career there involved both teaching and leadership roles, twice serving as department chair and winning the SUNY Chancellor’s award for distinguished teaching. Borowiec was successful in applying for and administering grants. He currently serves on the Seymour Library Board.
Smith, an Independent voter, plans to bring non-partisan thinking to the local government. Borowiec believes the Town Board is headed in the right direction and needs to continue its efforts. Both look forward to meeting the Town of Sweden residents – getting their ideas and listening to their concerns.
Having worked successfully on many community projects and emphasizing their abilities and willingness to serve, Smith and Borowiec will give their full attention to the responsibilities needed as members on the Sweden Town Board.
