Daily News | Montgomery County Democratic activists defied party leadership at their endorsement convention
as chair of the county Board of Commissioners to join Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration, and fellow Democratic Commissioner Ken Lawrence Jr. announced he wouldn’t seek reelection to the three-member board.
But while rank-and-file Democratic activists voted at the party’s convention Thursday in Plymouth Meeting to endorse Winder in the May primary election, they declined to do the same for Briggs — defying the recommendation from party leadership. An endorsement requires a 60% vote under the party’s rules.
The vote was seen as a victory for Neil Makhija, a 36-year-old lawyer from Lower Merion who is also vying for commissioner.
