Suffolk County Conservatives have decided to make the March 19 special election for the Ninth District county legislative seat a three-way race.
Frank Tinari, Suffolk Conservative chairman, said the party’s executive committee on Sunday named Anne Wiggins, a party committeewoman for the last 12 years, to run for the seat vacated by newly elected Democratic state Sen. Monica Martinez.
The minor party’s action comes only months after Suffolk Republican Chairman John Jay LaValle inserted himself into the Conservative Party leadership battle by directing mailings and robocalls to Conservatives attacking Tinari, shortly before he won a second two-year term as county leader in September. At the time, Tinari called it “rephrensible behavior, which will backfire.”
