Hurley GOP Sets Caucus - by Staff Kingston Wire

Almost a month to the day after the Democratic primary determined that party’s slate for fall town elections, Hurley Republicans will caucus to pick theirs.

According to a notice submitted to the Ulster County Board of Elections last week, the Republican caucus will be Wednesday, July 26, at 5 p.m. at West Hurley Park.  

If the party decides to put up a candidate for town supervisor, that person will enter what is looking like a three-way race.
