Margeson defeats Moss, will move from Legislature chairman to Chemung executive

Christopher Moss has had a contentious relationship with the Chemung County Legislature ever since he won election as county executive in 2018. Now the man who leads that body will succeed Moss in January as the county's top elected official, and he hopes to alter that dynamic. Legislature Chairman Mark Margeson defeated Moss with more than 55% of the vote in a June Republican primary, and while Moss remained on the ballot for the Nov. 3 general election on the Conservative Party line, Margeson widened his margin of victory with more than 58% support. Margeson said he felt good about his chances in the general election after his primary win, but admitted he didn't take anything for granted and gave his campaign team credit for putting in the hard work necessary to get the word out to county residents. "We were confident we would be in a good position. We did the same thing we were doing for the primary — getting people on the ground, knocking on doors, running commercials," Margeson said.
