Chuck Ruggiero and Lisa L'Huillier, officers in the local Jefferson Tea Party, will host a fundraiser for Republican Matt Doheny on June 8.

The $40/head, $250/event "sponsor" shindig will take place at the Partridge Berry Inn on Route 3 in New York.

Mr. Ruggiero, the GOP's candidate for sheriff in 2010, is married to Ms. L'Huillier, a realtor and the owner of Heffron Real Estate.

The duo were selected as delegates for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to the 2012 Tampa GOP convention. Mitt Romney, of course, won the north country and is the presumptive nominee.

Mr. Doheny will face Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, in the Nov. 6 election.
