The election for executive of Erie County, N.Y., is being fought over road paving and economic-development policy but is also shaping up to be a bellwether of voter sentiment for next year’s presidential election.

He faces Lynne Dixon, a county legislator who is a registered member of the Independence Party but is also running on the Republican line.
