Treasurer David Broderick, who has held the position for 37 years, announced that he will not be seeking re-election because he wants to spend more time with his family.

“It has been a pleasure to serve the residents of Niagara County in the capacity as Niagara County Treasurer,” Broderick said in a statement emailed to the Niagara Gazette on Thursday. “I wish my successor the best and will avail myself to him/her for a smooth transition for minimal disruption to the residents of Niagara County.”

Broderick leaves following the conclusion earlier this year of a controversial estate case that brought to light aspects of his dealings with estates overseen by the county, including allegations that he allowed his wife’s real estate firm to sell estates under his supervision in violation of state guidelines for public administrators. A pair of county judges requested an audit of Broderick’s estate activities and officials from the state Comptroller’s Office have said that they intended to release the findings this fall.
