Gounardes dismisses Golden staffer’s pending lawsuit as ‘frivolous’
The bruising campaign between Democratic State Sen. Andrew Gounardes and his Republican rival Marty Golden ended a year ago, but the controversy surrounding that 2018 election is still exploding today.
Gounardes, who beat the longtime state senator in the election, has now been threatened with a defamation lawsuit by a Golden campaign staffer.
The plaintiff, Ian Walsh Reilly, is seeking $5.5 million in damages.
