He will face incumbents Cate Rogers and Ian Calder-Piedmonte; Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez will be unopposed. But the Republicans are hoping to beat the odds by running Jeff Miller for town clerk, to replace the retiring Carole Brennan, who recently retired after 12 years in office (and 36 years overall at ...
