The current Saratoga Democratic Chair is Larry Bulman. For lack of a better word is known as REPUBLICAN-LITE.
He has continued to support JOE BRUNO time and time again. Bulman has this year given his support to William Barclay a Republican running for the 48th State Senate District. Senator Schumer, June O'Neil and the State Democratic Committee have given their support to the Democrat Darrel Aubertine. Matter of fact the State Dems have targeted the 48th as a key district. So Why is Bulman with the Republicans?
The County Democratic Committee has no plan, strategy or goal for turning the county BLUE. Mr. Bulman has been chair since 2002 but has failed to organize a real effective county committee. Yes, we have had some wins but they have happened because the candidates and their supporters did it with little or no help from the county chair. Under Bulman's failed leadership the county committee has become stagnant. We have many loyal intelligent democrats in the Saratoga County committee but we have no effective leadership. We need a leader that will bring people together and allow them people to help make this committee a real force in Saratoga County. Instead we have a chair whose only real concern is staying in power.
The real reason Saratoga County is control by Republicans is the Democratic Chair does not lead. In this County we have real grass roots Democrats that run very good campaigns that produce winners. We need to encourage them and copy what they do county wide. Instead our chair seems to want to isolate them. Yes, the Republican Committee has more money then the Democratic Committee but they work at it. Like it or not they are organized and the Dems are not. This falls on the Democratic Chair Larry Bulman. He claims he brings "Union" money to the table but look at the records it never really happens for city or town candidates. We need to take control of our cities and towns.
If Saratoga County Democrats are to ever be taken seriously by others we must work together with a new leader. A leader that will allow our organization to grow and use the talent that we already have in Saratoga
