Amanda Ward, candidate for Judge in the Town of Fallsburg, has received the endorsement of the Sullivan County Conservative Party. Ward, who is a lifelong resident of the Town of Fallsburg and has a law degree from Hofstra University, is also endorsed by the Republican and Independence Parties. Ward is employed as a Senior Director for Work Force Development at the Center for Discovery and is an adjunct professor at Sullivan County Community College

Andrew Martinez, a member of the Conservative Party and former college student of Amanda Ward thinks that the committee made the right choice. �I believe she will run the Town Court in the same dignified manner that she runs her classroom at the college�, said Martinez. �She will be well versed on the topic, always prepared and very fair�.

Due to a peculiarity in the New York State Election Law, other candidates for judge could still force a primary election on any political party�s line even though they were not selected by that party. Ward says that she isn�t taking the endorsements for granted and intends to continue campaigning vigorously through November.
