Skartados concedes Assembly race
NEWBURGH – Thomas Kirwan of Newburgh is officially the state assemblyman
in the 100th District. Former Assemblyman Frank Skartados of Milton called
Kirwan and conceded Thursday afternoon.
Kirwan said Skartados was “very gracious” and offered his
assistance when Kirwan gets to Albany.
Kirwan is no stranger to state government. He held that very same Assembly
seat until Skartados defeated him two years ago.
Kirwan challenged him again last fall and the Appellate Division of State
Supreme Court unanimously declared Kirwan the winner on Wednesday.
Skartados had considered appealing to the state’s highest court,
the Court of Appeals. But, after a day of thought, he called Kirwan and
bowed out.
