After Senator Mark Grisanti upset loss to Republican
challenger Kevin T. Stocker in the GOP primary on September 9th.
Governor Cuomo is still considering endorsing the Republican Senator Mark
Grisanti. Gristanti is a Buffalo Republican in the 60th District
State Senate who remains on the ballot as he running for the Independent Party.
For
the governor, this one's a personal, not just political, decision. As
Grisanti was one of the only four republicans who voted yes for Cuomo’s push to
legalize gay marriage and also voted in favor for Cuomo’s gun control
bill. It is believed that his support
for Cuomo’s bills is the reason
why he lost in the primary on September 9th.
This race seems like an important one to watch over for the next six weeks as
Election Day rears around the corner. Governor Andrew Cuomo has been on record
saying that he wants the Democrats to take control of State Senate. However,
Cuomo gave “mixed messages” about whom he is going to endorse in the 60th
Senate District Race. Right now it is a three-way race between Mark Grisanti,
Kevin Shocker, and Democrat Marc Panepinto.
Here is a video of Governor Cuomo explaining his problem in
the 60th district
