Two sitting Republican elected officials in New York's 22nd congressional district, and the district's former representative are publicly backing the Democratic challenger instead of their own party's incumbent.
The Assembly seat currently held by retiring Marc Butler is up for grabs in November and Herkimer County Democrat Keith Rubino is vying for the seat; but, does he have a chance? WIBX's Bill Keeler says he has no chance as a Democrat and Rubino obviously disagrees.
Political campaign endorsements are almost always predictable; but, with the race for New York's 22nd Congressional district heating up between Republican Claudia Tenney and Democrat Anthony Brindisi, we might have just witnessed one of the most unique and meaningful endorsements to date. In fact, it was downright funny.
The race for the 118th New York State Assembly seat currently held by Assemblyman Marc Butler is heating up with key endorsements, arrests and accusations. Upon Butler's retirement, two contenders have surfaced in the Republican Party, Robert Smullen and Patrick Vincent.
The Republican candidate for the 101st New York State Assembly seat, Patrick Vincent responded sharply to his opponent recently in an interview on WIBX's First News with Keeler in the Morning.
