Three all the way?

Peggy Godfrey, the challenger for the Republican line in New Rochelle’s District 2 City Council race, now has an independent line to run on as well — if it can survive an objection filed by a resident.
Her new line, the Queen City Preservation Party, means that she’ll remain in the race even if she loses the Republican primary Sept. 18 to Albert Tarantino, the party committee’s choice.
Tarantino already has three minor party lines — Conservative, Independence and Working Families.
So no matter what, both would continue on to face Democrat Reggie Johnson in November. They’re all vying to represent the city’s waterfront area.
This is just one more ripple in the elections in Westchester’s second-largest city, where the mayor and six City Council seats come up for grabs simultaneously every four years.
An objection has been filed at the Westchester County Board of Elections opposing Godfrey’s new party. The Journal News has filed a Freedom of Information request for a copy of the form.
