MALONE — The Franklin County Democratic Committee endorsed a full slate of candidates for county-wide races on the ballot this November.

Of those endorsements, only one is not an incumbent up for re-election. For Legislative District 4, the committee endorsed Malone village Mayor Joe Riccio, who is also chairman of the county Democratic committee. The seat is currently held by Legislator Carl Sherwin, a Democrat who is not seeking re-election this year.

In the remainder of the seats on the Board of Legislators, the Democratic committee endorsed Chairman Don Dabiew of Bombay for District 5, Vice Chairman Greg Janisewski of Chateaugay for District 2, Legislator Lindy Ellis of Saranac Lake for District 7 and Legislator Paul Lauzon of Fort Covington for District 1.

For district attorney, the committee endorsed incumbent Craig Carriero. He’s seeking a second four-year term.
