Loren Kent
Loren Kent will not be able to serve as the next Democratic Elections Commissioner for the Chautauqua County Board of Elections, unless he gets the backing of county Democrats and not just the Democratic county legislators.
The Hon. Lynn W. Keane ruled that the Chautauqua County Legislature must appoint someone whom the county Democratic Committee recommends.
In March, the county Legislature appointed Kent to the position to fill the vacancy with the retirement of Norm Green. Last year the county Democratic Committee, in a narrow vote, recommended Luz Torres.
Torres, who at the time was the Deputy Democratic Election Commissioner, was selected over Kent, who was the secretary of the county Democratic Party. Green has since stepped down from the position and announced his intention to run for county executive and Torres has been serving as the acting Democratic Election Commissioner.

An already hotly contested primary for the Democratic nomination for First Ward Common Council continues to heat up.
Last week, Ned Divine, Dunkirk Democratic chair, issued a news release stating incumbent Don Williams Jr., who was not endorsed by the committee, turned down a League of Women Voters sponsored debate with opponent Natalie Luczkowiak. “I was really looking forward to talking about the issues,” Luczkowiak said. “The voters of Dunkirk deserve to hear my opponent defend the city council failures and dysfunction that have permeated all the meetings of the last two years. Away from the city council, my opponent needs to answer why he isn’t supporting city resident Luz Torres to be our next county election commissioner.”
