Editor’s Note:

This week, The News-Gazette is presenting its first installment of its annual candidate profiles in the run-up to the fall’s elections.

We’re starting with the candidates for Goshen Town Council, where two seats are up for grabs. Incumbent Steve Bickley is running, as are Jeff Shaffer and Shelia Sampson.

And an election reminder: the first day of in-person early voting at local registrar’s offices is this Friday, Sept. 20.
