Schreibman campaign manager Jonathan Levy was quoted in the Register Star as saying, “We are feeling pretty good about the turnout and level of grassroots volunteer activity that’s gone into tonight.” Locally, Mr. Schreibman prevailed in both Columbia and Greene Counties. In Columbia, according to the Register Star, the count was Schreibman 857, Tyner 381; in Greene, the tally was Schreibman 272, Tyner 146.
Greene County Democratic Chairwoman Doreen Davis said the party was pleased to get behind Schreibman for the general election.
“It was a hard-fought contest,” she said. “Democrats in Greene County had an opportunity to hear from both candidates throughout the race and now it is time to get behind the winner and have a competitive race with Congressman Gibson.”
BlueInGreene will be proud to support Julian Schreibman in the general election and we congratulate the candidate on a very professional and compelling campaign.
