NORWICH – The Chenango County Republican Committee endorsed all five of the area’s state representatives up for re-election Thursday.
At a committee meeting Thursday night in the Howard Johnson’s ballroom in Norwich, Republican Chairman Tom Morrone said the county is “very fortunate” to have Senators James Seward (R-Oneonta) and Tom Libous, Assemblymen Clifford Crouch (R-Guilford), Gary Finch (R-Auburn) and Pete Lopez (R-Schoharie) “representing us.”
“Our team has done a great job for Chenango County,” Morrone said, after the endorsements were passed unanimously.
The chairman said the committee is the first in the state to announce its candidates.
Crouch was the only one Thursday to officially announce he would be seeking re-election. The other four incumbents are expected to make the same announcement later this spring.
“I’m proud to carry your voice to the Assembly,” Crouch told the committee.
He said lowering property, school and business taxes will continue to be his top priorities. A former Chairman of Chenango County Board of Supervisors, Crouch represents the 107th District, which includes parts of Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Ulster counties. He has been in the Assembly since 1995.
