Williams chosen for Sullivan judge post by GOP leaders
Sullivan County Republican Chair Harry Seletsky predicts county executive committee will confirm Robert C. Williams as the party’s candidate for a new Sullivan County Supreme Court seat next week. The plan could unite 14 of 15 town chairmen, with Thompson potentially abstaining due to Williams’ home in the district. Goldstein counters and urges the issue stay within the executive committee to avoid a party rift.
