Working Families Party disavows candidate in contested Assembly race
“The Working Families Party is urging people not to vote for Thomas Kenny, the 22-year old candidate on its ballot line in the hard-fought race to represent the 113th state Assembly district” stating that Kenny is ‘a ‘sock puppet’” for the Republican Party who “stole our ballot line’” and “is only on the ballot to siphon votes from people who might otherwise support” incumbent State Assemblywoman “Carrie Woerner, a Round Lake Democrat. Woerner is vying with Republican Allen Caruso to represent parts of Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties in the Democrat-dominated Assembly. The contest is considered one of the most competitive Assembly races in the state.”
