Kathleen Joy is Running for State Senate

A Democrat has finally entered the race to oppose Senator John DeFrancisco. County Legislator Tom Buckel turned down the opportunity earlier this year, but Kathleen Joy, a Syracuse Common Councilor-at-Large, is willing to take up the challenge. Joy announced that she would be joining the race last week and received the endorsement of her party on Sunday. Her campaign is already off to a rough start. The coverage of her announcement was less than favorable, as are most of the comments posted on her own website. As I write this post, more than a week after her entry into the race, her Facebook page has a grand total of three fans. There is a lot of time between now and the November election. Kathleen Joy is going to need it if she hopes to knock off the popular Senator.
