Challenger to mayor of Swanton exits race

10/29/2003

SWANTON - Tandy Grubbs will be unopposed for mayor of Swanton on Tuesday's ballot.

His only opponent, Scott Simon, withdrew from the race Monday.

“At this time in my young life, I now understand that my family needs me as mayor of my household more so than the village of Swanton,” Mr. Simon wrote in his withdrawal letter to the Fulton County Board of Elections.

Mr. Grubbs has been mayor since 2001. He previously was a village council member for eight years.
