First congratulations to Jon Powers on his endorsement from the Amherst Democrats. But wow, Dan Ward gets it over his sister-in-law Iannello/Ward. But I understand she withdrew her name. I can imagine how sad it would look if Dan lost to her, after all isn’t Dan a councilman there? Purely political move by both of them.
