Aiello, serving his third term, is a retired city police captain and former Cattaraugus County legislator. He won his first election for mayor in 2013, defeating incumbent Democrat Linda Witte.

Aiello has pointed to the Walkable Olean projects, upgrades to the William O. Smith Recreation Center, the development of the Lincoln Square Market Place in Lincoln Park and the various multi-million-dollar grant programs that have led to projects such as the former Manufacturers’ Hanover building and wastewater treatment plant upgrades as successes during his tenure.

Aiello will also appear on the ballot on the Conservative line in the primary.

While not having held political office before, Sherburne is known for her work to found the Woodland in the City project, which led to dozens of large, painted squirrel statues being installed around the city, many of them symbolizing specific industries are businesses in Olean.

She has said, if elected, she would work on solutions for the city’s most pressing matters and would be fiscally responsible and transparent, mindful that the decisions made today will affect the future.

Sherburne has also been endorsed by the Cattaraugus County Democratic Committee as its candidate for mayor.
