Linda is from my town - all the committee members ( I am one too) were backing her. But the Municipal Chair - George Devanny ( Google him -- he is a corrpupt thug. His wife Angie Devanny has a company called Keywood strategies that the spearhead of pay to play in Union County) - didnt tell anyone and blindsided us by Voting for Tom. There is shit storm in my town due to his vote.

Linda lost 6-7. Had George voted for her - She would have gotten the party line. Basically there is some disgusting internal angle between Tom, Nick Scutari & George. Nick & George guy only care about power in Union County.

Also, Tom is not a grassroots candidate like Linda, Peter or Gautam. All money ( that he loves to bring up) is not raised locally.

Linda will dropout and will not contest the primary as she had promised if she did not get the Union county backing.

The local grassroots folks are shattered.
