The Ulster County legislature stays solidly Democratic and while there are some losses, there are also some pick ups and the majority stays about the same.
Andrew Cuomo is appointed to the US Senate, Vince Bradley launches bid for NYS AG but loses in the primary to a liberal that no one knows.
Jim Quilgey announces that he is running for Supervisor of the town of Ulster --- Kevin Costello calls and reminds him how that worked out for him---
Nina Postupack runs unopposed for Ulster County Clerk ---Jonathan Sennett and Elliott Auerbach breath a sign of relief and start raising money for their respective campaigns.
In exchange for all of his hard work on the Hein campaign, Allan Lomita is rewarded with a job by Mike Hein -- Ambassador to Green County.
Sue Zimet announces she is retiring from Ulster County Politics...alright, that's not a prediction, just a wish!
Have a Happy New Year!!!
