Chautauqua County Democratic Election Commissioner Norman P. Green, appeared to say farewell, even though he remains in his current position.
Green said during Wednesday’s meeting that he was told last February by Legislator Chuck Nazzaro, D-Jamestown, that the Democrats on the legislature would not back his reappointment at the end of 2020. “I accepted that. I went to work every day, worked hard every day. I didn’t give up. … I did what I’m supposed to do,” he said.
Green noted that he has held the position for 22 years, and before that was a regional manager and had served in the U.S. Army. He also served on the Ellicott Town Board.
