The upcoming November election will surely be filled with mudslinging from both sides leading up to judgment day.
However, in order for some candidates to be on ballot this November they must first conquer the primary on September 18.
In the upcoming primary election, a battle is brewing for Conservative and
Independence lines in all parts of
Dutchess County.
The race for Supervisor and Council spots in the town of
Poughkeepsie for the Conservative Party exposes in a vacuum this trend.
Under the leadership town of
Poughkeepsie Conservative Party Chairman Jim Killian, Supervisor Patricia Myers and Deputy Town Supervisor George Finn received the Conservative endorsement.
Both are Democrats.
Both have a primary from Republican candidates facing these and other Conservative endorsed Democrat candidates in the town of
Poughkeepsie.
The hurdle challengers to the endorsement have is their name must be written in by voters.
The endorsement of Democrats is somewhat uncharacteristic as Democrat principles clearly differ from Conservative ideals.
Conservatives usually are Pro-Life, for immigration reform, for lower taxes and less government.
To Conservatives, government isn’t the solution, it is the problem.
In the case of
Poughkeepsie, this fairly odd couple has become strange bed fellows.
This is illustrated in a letter sent to registered Conservatives in the Town of
Poughkeepsie by Jim Killian urging support for Democrat Patricia Myers and other Conservative endorsed candidates in the primary.
Still others feel the Conservative endorsement of Democrats is motivated by something else as shown in
this story alleging strong arming by Conservative Chairman Jim Killian for support of a football field on vacant town owned land.
It will be nothing short of interesting to see what Conservative voters decide
.
