To the Editor:

I wanted to publicly thank the voters responsible for our overwhelming victory in the Conservative Party Primary for county legislature. Since there was no coverage of it in The Enterprise (though there were two articles containing county legislature results), many of you have yet to hear the news.

We won with more than 70 percent of the vote as a write-in candidate. The county’s Conservative Party boss blocked me from being on the ballot.

This was truly your victory because you stood up for our shared values of taxpayer advocacy and more effective, transparent government. It is an honor to be one of your champions.

Mark Grimm

Editor’s note: Democrat David Cardona, a former Voorheesville trustee who had the Conservative Party backing, got 16 votes in the Sept. 10 primary. Using an opportunity to ballot, Republican Mark Grimm, a former Guilderland Town Board member, got 39 votes, according to unofficial results from the Albany County Board of Elections. They are vying to represent Albany County’s 29th District, a post currently held by Lee Carman, a Republican who is seeking a Guilderland Town Board seat.

Enterprise primary election coverage focused on major party challenges.
