"Our Committee knows these three fine public servants. Any would provide a welcome change from the reckless Astorino Administration," he added. "But we believe that Mayor Bramson is both best qualified to be County Executive, and best positioned to win in November."
An April 24 Democratic Convention will pit Bramson against fellow Dem challengers Bill Ryan and Ken Jenkins. Ryan is a sitting county legislator; Jenkins is the county legislature chair.
