VanFleet Faces Challenge in Orange County GOP Race
William E. Doulin, longtime Orange County GOP chair, is expected to win a fifth term unopposed while first vice chair C. Clark Van Fleet faces former district attorney Jerome S. Cohen for the post at the June meadowbrook meeting in Vails Gate. Cohen, 46, seeks to revamp the finance committee and attract youth to the party but says he won’t run the chair, as campaign supporters cite countywide calls to run. Doulin, 69, has not heard of opposition and hints at possible repeal of a cross endorsement ban next year, warning its absence could undermine the party.
