Democrat Convention Results

The Daily Freeman twitter account is reporting that the City Democrats have endorsed Steve Noble for Mayor with Shayne Gallo vowing a primary.

I am told that the weighted voting was 1365 to 1045.  A close race indeed.

This is not unexpected.  I reported some weeks ago that Joe Donaldson, the City Chair, has been appointing family members to vacancies and moving committeemen around to rig the game for Noble.  Look for Gallo to win the primary handily.

No word yet on Alderman at Large, though I expect the rigging will continue.

More as it comes in ....

*****

Ulster County Dems did not nominate anyone for DA or for Legislators in districts #1, #3, or #4.  Currently voting on district#7 (Woltman vs. Berky Schwartz)

More as it develops...

*****

NO decision on district #7.  It will go to a primary.

*****

Noble nominated for Alderman-at-Large. No surprise here given the rigging by the Chair

Richard...okay....it is TIME for you to run for Mayor. The city will go to hell in a hand basket if Noble beats Gallo in a primary and wins. Please. Thank you for uncovering and bringing this grant mess to light. The Freeman had to follow your lead.............

That was not totally unexpected endorsing Steve Noble...But Gallo will come out hard and fast. He has support among many factions in this city. Noble will get his butt kicked in the ensuing months. His lack of experience in anything to do with management will be glaring compared to the Mayor. Let's see how he spins the grant screw up . More than likely he will blame it on somebody else in Parks and Rec or Economic Development. Schmuck!

8:23,

Thank you, but I am not running. I might run for office again in the future, but not this year.

supposedly on a Facebook posting Matt Dunn says he is not running again..Thought for sure he would sneak or weasel his way into Mayoral or Alderman at large race.
Still don't trust him....
He has learned his shenanigans from the master... Hoffay.

I am looking forward to the primary and voting for Gallo. I'm a Dem in Ward 9 and you can bet I will vote for Deb Brown if she runs, not the leftist they put up at the caucus.

Yu can be assured that Dunn Nothing for Ward 1 has a plan and is simply waiting in the wings for it to unfold. Just wait and see because he is not about to abandon politics simply because his wife said so.
