City Hall Press reported this week that Democratic Party Candidate Kevin Kim is using an election loophole to attempt to force a primary in the Independence Party against the IP Candidate Dan Halloran, who has cross endorsements of the Republican, Conservative, Independence, and Libertarian Parties.

Fearing the successful cross-party Candidate, they are attempting to use an Opportunity to Ballot Petition which is called the “Pandora’s Box” of politics. Independence Party Vice Chairman Tom Conolly gave Halloran the party’s “Full Support” and is standing by the Party Candidate. Kathy Stewart and Molly Honingsfeld, who were involved in the local Petitioning for Halloran have likewise stepped forward to suppor their candidate and fend off the party raid by the tactic of Kim.
