Candidates address Essex County GOP
KEENE — A New York senator and seven congressional hopefuls addressed a packed house of Essex County Republicans at Keene Valley Ausable Inn recently.
Sen. Betty Little, announcing she was running for another term, greeted the audience in between four candidates running for the 23rd Congressional District and three more seeking the nomination in the 20th District.
Essex County is represented by both congressional districts.
Oswego Republican State Assemblyman William Barclay led off the evening, followed by Douglas Hoffman, who ran in the special election for the 23rd District.
Matt Doheny, who came in second last summer when party chairs were endorsing their candidate, was the next speaker.
Little assured the audience that she, Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas and Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava were doing everything they could to keep Moriah Shock off the closure list.
Then, four candidates for the 20th District spoke: Retired Col. Chris Gibson of Kinderhook, Saratoga Springs lawyer David Harper, Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec and Patrick Ziegler of Burnt Hills.
