The current composition of the Town of Canandaigua Democratic Committee is as follows:
Reid Hankin, Chairman
Reid and his wife, Bondie, have lived in the Town of Canandaigua for the last 23 years raising a family of five in a large, brick house built in 1812. Reid cares deeply about the Town of Canandaigua and wants to see the same high quality of life provided to future generations of families in the Town that has been afforded his family.
Tom Knapp, Vice-Chairman
After having raised two sons in the Town of Canandaigua, my wife Lori and I feel this is a great place to live and raise a family. I am retired from the telecommunications industry with a desire to help our town continue to be the best place to live. I served two years on the Town of Canandaigua Planning Board (new window).
Joe Kardesh, Secretary
Joe and his wife moved to Canandaigua six years ago after he retired from the New York State Office of Court Administration. He is the Secretary for both the Town and County Democratic Committees.
Lynn White Sohn, Co-Chair
Lynn and her husband Chris have lived in Canandaigua for nine years with their two sons, Daniel and Joshua. Prior to moving here, Canandaigua was a favorite vacation spot for Lynn's family, as Chris's parents live on the lake. Lynn works at Ontario ARC and thoroughly enjoys the beauty of Canandaigua. She joined the Town of Canandaigua Democratic Committee to help ensure that our local government is responsive to the needs of the residents of our Town.
Gail Korn, Treasurer
Gail and her husband Steve have lived in Canandaigua for the past five years and have enjoyed sailing on the lake for the past 17 years. They have a beautiful 12 year old daughter who entered 7th grade this fall. Gail has a very strong connection to the region, as her grandparents farmed the area that later became Roseland Park, and her father was born here and attended Canandaigua schools. Gail and her family are delighted to call Canandaigua home.
Chris Costello, Committee Member/Events Fundraising
Chris is a Realtor® serving both the City and Town of Canandaigua.
Suellyn Hunt, Committee Member/Publicity
Kathleen Lowe, Committee Member/Publicity/Fundraising
My husband and I decided some twenty years ago to build our home in Canandaigua. Attracted by its scenic beauty and its potential for outdoor activities such as sailing, swimming, cross-country skiing, and hiking, we concluded that Canandaigua offered us the life style that we wanted to live. After teaching for thirty years, I am enjoying my retirement, but feel a desire to continue to contribute to our very special community. As a member of the newly formed Town of Canandaigua Democratic Committee, I hope to be of service by helping to promote a healthy, two-party system which will be more responsive to the citizens of this Chosen Spot.
Chris Sohn, Committee Member
Chris and his wife Lynn have lived in Canandaigua for nine years with their two sons, Daniel and Joshua. Chris is a math teacher at Marcus Whitman High School. He is committed to the Town of Canandaigua and to government on the local level. He has a desire to help make the Town responsive to the needs of its residents.
