Democrats Uphill Climb for House Starts in North Country and Might End on L.I.

Democrats have a steep hill to climb while trying to claim back the House. 

"Democrats must pick up a net of 17 seats to win control of the House." 

Former Syracuse Mayor, Roy Bernardi endorses Republican congressional candidate John Katko in his bid. "I spent the majority of my public service career as a Republican municipal official in an increasingly Democrat city."

The race to fill Rep. Bill Owens, D-N.Y., seat in the NY- 21st district is heating up with Democratic candidate Aaron Woolf claiming his "momentum is building" even though he is still losing in the polls by Republican candidate Elise Stefanik.

"He's obviously a top target" is what a GOP campaign operative said about Eastern Long Island Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop. "Bishop becomes the first House democrat in the Northeast attacked in television as paid for the National Republican Congressional Committee."
