Odell et al on the REP line should thank Rob Astorino for their victory, who headed the slate and who personified Putnam opposition to the hated Cuomo and his policies – the SAFE Act, Common Core and the pro-abortion provision of the Women’s Equality Act. So no victory laurels to anyone or mandate.
Congratulations to the winners!
