The Monroe County Democratic Committee held its Designating Convention Thursday evening for state and local offices that are on the ballot this November.
It appears there will be at least one primary in September. Monroe County Democratic Chairwoman Jamie Romeo is running for NYS Assembly in the 136th District. That is the seat now held by Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle who is running for Congress this year.
Jaclyn Richard is also seeking the Democratic line in that race. She issued a statement on Thursday calling on Romeo to resign her party chair post, saying that it’s a conflict of interest to be both chair and a candidate. Richard says she is looking forward to the September Primary.
