County Republicans Back
John Faso For Congress
KINDERHOOK – Otsego County Democrats and Republicans have both made their loyalties known in the upcoming race to replace U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, in the 19th Congressional District.
The Democratic County Committee backed Zephyr Teachout last evening, and the Republicans over the weekend got behind John Faso, the Republican gubernatorial candidate against Eliot Spitzer in 2006. A lawyer, Faso is also from Kinderhook.
According to a press release from Faso’s campaign, 66 percent of the weighted vote of the county Republican Committee endorsed Faso, and 33 percent Bob Bishop, a farmer from Hamden, Delaware County, who also is general manager of Larsen Farms Terminal. Andrew Heaney, an oil distributor from Dutchess County, received no votes.
