Here are some excerpts from the letter:

"Saratoga Springs, like many small cities, is run by a cozy group of men, related to each other not by party affiliation, or even profession, but by business interests and opportunistic aspirations. They pay lip service to the principles and values they claim to represent, but sweep aside ant existing restrictions or regulations if they maintain their short term desires, or challenge their power base."

"It would seem obvious that the city Democratic Party would stand by their incumbent elected officials. Not so. Mayor Keehn faces within her own party an entrenched old guard, that has put forward a candidate to challenge her in a primary."

Here's what Ullmann had to say about Boyd's endorsement from the Conservative Party:

"For 30 years, no Republican candidate has won in New York without the support of the Conservative Party. The leaders of the Conservative Party must believe the candidate is really Republican. And he seems like to everything Republican, except the name."
