WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - It’s arguably the biggest race in Jefferson County this year: 4 candidates vying for two seats on Watertown City Council.

7 News spoke with Anthony Velazquez, Pete Monaco, Doug Osborne, and Shane Garrabrant on Election Day.

Although their platforms may differ, they do share one thing, and that’s a sense of cautious optimism.

We spoke with Monaco as he voted at St. Anthony’s Church, where he told us he’s feeling good about the election, citing both his experience as a former public works superintendent and a strong performance in June’s primary election
