BALDWIN, NY — A Long Island Politician who was reported missing months ago, will remain on the ballot in November, according to CBS News.

According to CBS News, a judge ruled Krommidas’ name must stay on the roster since he was not legally declared dead, despite Democrats wanting to replace his name for another candidate’s.
