This year's election process will be an interesting one, not only for the presidential election, but for state elections as well. Mike Cole, a republican from Alden who represents Gasport in the NY Assembly, will be challenged in the primary election by Jeff Bono, a Newstead resident who has changed his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican and just this week announced his run for Assembly.
This will be a tough and dirty race as Cole's stature has soured in many people's eyes due to a trangression in Albany last year when he spent the night in an intern's apartment. That caused him to lose all seniority and to be barred from the intern program.
