The saga over Alice Kryzan's placement on the Working Families Party line is over: She will not appear on the ballot tomorrow.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City ruled this afternoon that Jon Powers cannot be removed from the ballot on the Working Families Party line for the 26th Congressional District, meaning that Alice Kryzan has lost her bid for a second party line.
The judges issued a one-paragraph ruling following oral arguments this morning on the New York State Republican Committee's bid to prevent the change.
It was announced on Friday that Kryzan would get the Working Families Party line. However, Judge Richard Arcana of the U.S. District Court in Buffalo issued a temporary restraining order preventing that decision from being executed. Today's decision will bring an end to this. The case could be taken up with the U.S. Supreme Court, but considering the timing of today's decision, that appears to be unlikely.
Tomorrow when you go into the polls, vote for Alice Kryzan on the Democratic line. That is the only place where you will see her name. Vote for her. Alice is an intelligent woman and a progressive and we need those traits in Washington representing us. She will listen and she will be a true representative of the people. If you want Tom Reynolds Jr., vote for Chris Lee. If you want a change from the failed policies of the past and a representative who will do more than just show up for photo ops, vote for Alice Kryzan.
