Edward J. Gardner head of the Democratic Executive Committee in Hamilton says he filed a protest against Probate Judge Oscar Leiser as a private citizen not as party head.

The protest questions Leiser’s May primary petitions for the exact term sought, a legal requirement per the state Supreme Court.
