SILVER CREEK – A four-term member of the Chautauqua County Legislature is announcing his candidacy for Chautauqua County Executive.
On Wednesday afternoon George Borrello (R-Irving) announced his intention to run for the office of county executive at the Silver Creek Firemen’s Club.
Borrello is a Chautauqua County native who graduated from Fredonia High School in 1985 and is a 1989 graduate of Purdue University.

He is also involved with the hospitality and tourism business in Sunset Bay.
Borello first ran for public office in 2009 for a seat on the Chautauqua County Legislature.
