Edwards, left, endorses Behan for her seat
MONTICELLO – Sullivan County businesswoman Miranda Behan will run for county legislature in the district that represents portions of Liberty and Hurleyville. The seat is currently held by Cora Edwards, who is not seeking a second term.
The incumbent has endorsed Behan. Both are Democrats.
“Sullivan County is being run into the ground and it must stop once and for all,” Behan said. “People are being forced out of their homes because of high taxes. Our children are leaving because they see no future here. We have no meaningful economic development or long range plan of action. We need to put an end to protecting self-interests and start caring about and delivering for the people of Sullivan County,” she said.
Edwards said Behan has “a long-standing record of accomplishments as a local business owner and civic leader over the last 40 years.”
