Christopher D. Greene has been sworn in to fill the 6^th District vacancy in the Erie County Legislature. Mr. Greene most recently served as a Town of Clarence Councilman, and fills the seat that was left vacant by Legislator Edward A. Rath, III who was elected to the New York State Senate. The 6^th Legislative District encompasses the Towns of Clarence, Amherst, and Newstead and the Village of Akron.

Legislator Greene has lived in Clarence since 2006 with his wife Kathryn and four sons. As a family, they are active members of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Clarence. Currently, Legislator Greene is a sales representative for United Business Systems, a locally owned document solutions provider. Greene was elected to the Clarence Town Board in 2015 and 2019 where he served a total of five years.

Legislator Greene said, “My goals as Legislator are rather straightforward. Crumbling roads are a major problem throughout Erie County and need to be addressed sooner rather than later. I believe that providing safe roads is a basic responsibility of government. During my five years on the Clarence Town Board, I delivered five consecutive budgets below the New York State tax cap and reduced the tax rate by more than 10 percent over that timeframe. I will continue to work to minimize the tax burden on the residents of Erie County.”
