Nicotra Not Running After All

In a race that now has three Democrats in the running, the single Republican who expressed some interest has announced that he will not be making a run for the seat. Salina Supervisor Mark Nicotra has taken his name out of consideration, leaving Republicans with a glaring deficiency in a rare race for an open seat. There is still time for a top tier Republican to get in the race. My guess is that East Syracuse Mayor Dan Liedka is feeling the pressure to drop his State Senate race and go after this seat, although he has previously denied any interest.
