Also among the 24 are Franklin County GP Chairman Jim Ellis AND Steuben County GP Chairman Bill Hatch who are vice chairs of the party’s state committee; and Rensselaer County GP Chairman Jack Casey. Casey’s presence is telling since he heads the party operation in the home county of former Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno.
