Andrea McNulty, a North Tonawanda Democrat decided to step down from her position following accusations that McNulty had violated a section of the public officer’s law which requires candidates to live in the districts that they represent. County Democrats first accused McNulty of violating this residency requirement back in May when they discovered through documents obtained under state Freedom of Information Law that McNulty’s husband owned a home in Pendleton. Though McNulty claimed to still reside at the North Tonawanda home, she announced that she would not seek re-election due to “many personal factors”. Democratic Party Chairman speculated that the resignation was more likely due to the fact that the committee was planning on filing an Article 78 proceeding to have McNulty’s legislative post vacated if she did not step down.
