Beaudoin to run for Mills’ seat
Orchard Park Bee | February 17, 2026
Zach Beaudoin, a Hamburg father and U.S. Army veteran, announced this week that he is running for the Erie County Legislature’s 11th District seat as a Democrat. Republican incumbent John Mills is not seeking reelection, making this the first open race for the seat in two decades.
“I’m honored that the Erie County Democratic Committee and local leaders across the district have placed their trust in me. But this campaign is bigger than a party endorsement.”
“The people of District 11 aren’t asking for anything extraordinary. They want roads maintained, emergency services supported, broadband expanded, and aging parents cared for with dignity.”
