Newly Nominated, Astorino Visits

     Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, who accepted the Republican nomination for governor at his party’s convention in Rye Brook, Westchester County, earlier today, is escorted into The Otesaga this evening by Cooperstown’s Tony Casale, who is executive director of the state Republican Committee. Before keynoting the annual Otsego County Republican Dinner, Astorino mingled with the faithful on the veranda overlooking Otsego Lake.

Astorino’s runningmate, Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss, center, who was nominated for lieutenant governor earlier in the day, poses with two of his local counterparts, Otsego County Sheriff Richard J. Devlin Jr., right, and Herkimer County Sheriff Christopher Farber on The Otesaga’s veranda.
