Tuesday, the elections will end.

Pending a tie, which in itself would be amazing, the election results from all Schoharie County races should be known on Tuesday.

It has been a good long hard fight.

The Young Republicans are not done though! As we prepare for a crucial bunch of meetings which will take place over the next few months, our 2010 elections, a mailer attempting to gain more members, perhaps involvement in village elections in March, and the 2010 elections which will include a full out effort against Paul Tonko, given a Republican challenger emerges.

Join the fight on November 20th, 6PM at the Middleburgh Town Hall.
