UPDATE: Sue Soriano Running on the Ballot?

The republican candidate for Norristown’s municipal council, registered democrat Sue Soriano, sent an email to Patch.com this afternoon that called into question whether she was still in the running.

After Patch reached out Tuesday morning to Soriano about election day, she replied Tuesday, writing: “I am currently out of the state. Personal matters have kept me away the political campaign. I tried to withdraw my name, but it was too late.”

According to John Kelemen, Executive Director of the Montgomery County Republican Committee (MCRC), Soriano won the republican primary this spring, but she is a registered democrat. MCRC assists registered republicans.

Patch replied to Soriano and asked if she was still running, but did not receive a reply as of early Tuesday evening. Soriano was also asked if she would cede her spot should she be elected to council.

After Patch published an article about the situation, Soriano later replied to Patch, writing that “Winning is a very long shot considering I didn't campaign at all. If that happens; I am planning on fulfilling my duties.”  

As of Tuesday afternoon Soriano’s name was still on the ballot list provided by the county.

According to the Montgomery County Election Board, they do not comment for the candidates.
