Queensbury supervisor’s congressional bid hits Tea Party snag

Corrected…

Queensbury town supervisor Dan Stec is hoping to give Scott Murphy a tough run in the NY-20 race this fall.

But his own home county gave the endorsement to a different candidate, a Tea Party activist from Burnt Hills.

Here’s the coverage from the Glens Falls Post Star.

Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec’s bid for Congress hit a snag on Monday when he lost the endorsement of the Republican committee in his home county.

Stec narrowly lost the endorsement vote to Patrick Ziegler, a TEA Party activist from Burnt Hills.

“It was between Ziegler and Stec, and Ziegler squeaked by,” said Warren County Republican Chairman Michael Grasso.
