The contest in New York’s 23rd congressional district is starting to shake out. A few different events in the last two weeks have clarified the state of the race. Matt Doheny, a Republican, has announced that he will be joining the race (video below) and was endorsed by the Oneida County Republican Committee. Additionally, Franklin County Legislator Paul Maroun decided not to seek the seat, leaving Doheny to battle former Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman in a GOP primary.
With Maroun out, and a primary in place, the focus turns to the fundraising capability of the two Republican candidates. Without the national spotlight, Doug Hoffman seems to be falling behind, as Doheny posts the biggest take of all candidates, including incumbent Democrat Bill Owens. The eventual Republican nominee will face Owens in November.
