BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – Lawrence Dupre was chosen as the Erie County Democratic Committee’s top choice to take over the vacant seat in the Erie County Legislature.

Dupre was chosen by committee members in District 1, which stretches from downtown Buffalo to Cheektowaga. The legislature is expected to vote on his appointment next week.
