Party Will Seek ‘Good Democrat’
To Run For Treasurer, Abbate Says
COOPERSTOWN – The Democratic county chairman, Richard Abbate, said Republican county treasurer candidate Allen Ruffles has the right to appear before the county committee and ask for its endorsement.
But, Abbate said a few moments ago, Ruffles, current deputy county treasurer, is unlikely to get it. “I think we have enough problems with Republicans in this country,” he continued. “We’re looking for a good Democrat.”
Ruffles was unanimously endorsed by the Republican County Committee, which met Saturday at Milford’s Elm Inn.
