Candidacy at Risk—Backdoor Antics

Angie Minew’s candidacy is at risk. Although Saugerties Conservative Party’s rank and file voted unanimously to give Ms. Minew the endorsement for County Legislator for District 2, and although no-one else expressed an interest in the position, we were advised that Opportunity to Ballot petitions were carried for Santos Lopez behind everyone’s back and were then handed in at the Board of Elections. This, of course, would force us to a costly primary. The following correspondence relating to this matter are listed below, which may be read by clicking where indicated.
