Bernie O’Hare has a letter that Northampton County Exec. John Stoffa wrote to Party Chair Joe Long urging him to step down. From the letter:

Dear Joe;

The time has come for you to resign your post as Chairman of the Northampton County Democratic Party.

Democrats of Northampton County are witnessing:

• a steady decline in the quality of candidates

• a failure to maintain party unity as seen in crumbling local committees, reduced emphasis on consensus-building activities, declining attendance at the annual County Party picnic, and a lack of significant fundraising events

• a lack of a working volunteer recruitment/development program
