- David Foley
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY – It looks like current Chautauqua County District Attorney David Foley (R-Pomfret) won’t see much, if any, competition in his bid to become the next county judge.
The Chautauqua County Democratic Committee Monday unanimously nominated Foley for County Judge in the November 3 General Election.
Foley announced he would be running for judge in the special election after judge John Ward announced earlier this year he would be retiring at the end of July. Foley has served as county District Attorney since 2005, winning re-election on two separate occasions.
In addition to announcing its support for Foley, the committee also officially endorsed John Plumb for the 23rd Congressional district in 2016. Plumb, a Lakewood resident, is a fourth-generation western New Yorker and Naval Reserve Commander. Born in Jamestown and raised in Randolph, Plumb has spent the past two decades in military and public service.
Current Congressman Tom Reed (R-Corning) has already said he plans to run for reelection in 2016. Reed, who was first elected in 2010, has gone on record saying his goal is to serve a maximum of six terms – or 12 years – in congress.
