Hall Campaign Responds To Aydelott

CORRECTION:

Before we get further into this post let me issue a correction to postings made yesterday and early today. While John Hall's campaign has challenged fellow Democrat Judy Aydelott's petitions, it has NOT challenged those of Darren Rigger, as we reported.

HALL CAMPAIGN RESPONDS TO AYDELOTT LETTER

Now for the Hall campaign's response to Aydelott's call earlier today for Hall to withdraw his challenge to Aydelott's petitions.

Hall's campaign manager Amy Little told NYPols tonight that the petitions are being challenged "because their validity is in question," and she "understands" there are challenges from outside the Hall campaign.

As far as threatening party unity for the November run at 19th District incumbent Republican Sue Kelly, Little said the best chance of beating Kelly is for the party to have a "unified stance with a popular candidate, which is John Hall."
