Brandy McDonald announces he’ll be leaving the town supervisor position
Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Peru, NY – At tonight’s Town Board meeting, Brandy McDonald announced he’d be leaving his position as Town Supervisor in September or October. He said, “It’s not an easy decision for me, but sometime in September or October, I will be stepping down as town supervisor. My wife is working in Plattsburgh; we found a place in Plattsburgh and decided to downsize, but we haven’t found a place in Peru. He added,” I love this town, the people, and I love you guys. I’m going to miss it, but it’s the right thing to do.” McDonald said the house in Plattsburgh is under contract; he will not put his Peru house up for sale until July or August.
He hoped that one of the current board members would step up to the supervisor role. If not, they could appoint someone else.
If a board appoints one of its members, the board can either fill the open position or leave it vacant. The supervisor and council positions would be on the November 2025 ballot, with the winning candidate taking office as soon as the election is certified.
