Town of Lancaster 2021 primary / election updates / comments

[mark blazejewski]

Paul Rudz, registered Republican gets a call from the Democratic Party the night they endorse their candidates to tell him they have endorsed him. He tells the caller that he did not petition for the endorsement but accepts. He tells the Republican Party committee that he would have been a fool not to accept.

I supported Trustee Rudz when he ran for Trustee just two years ago. From what I understand he is an amiable sort with an incomplete tenure marked by an unremarkable record of accomplishments.

I do have several questions about Rudz's candidacy:

(1) Did the Democrat Party endorse him because he is an element of a scheme engineered with the Republicans?

(2) If the answer to (1) is yes, then I must ask is Rudz being used an expendable dupe who just got caught-up in the sly machinations?

(3) Is the comment concerning Rudz that he "tells the Republican Party committee that he would have been a fool not to accept ," an indication that he is exploiting the rather curious circumstances of the 2021 campaign, and is pursuing the Town Council seat primarily for reasons of self-advancement, and does so without regard to his rather lack-luster record?
