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.
