North Country Happenings

Republican NY-21 Congressional Candidate Elise Stefanik's romantic relationships should be public knowledge, according to a supporter of her Democratic opponent, Aaron Woolf.

Woolf denounced his supporter's letter via his twitter account, but supporter "Middle Class Mike" shot back arguing he had coordinated with Ryan P Smith, NY Democratic Party Regional Field Director.

There are Assembly primary elections for both the 115th and 116th district this Tuesday. In the 115th district, incumbent Republican Janet Duprey will face Plattsburgh teacher Karen Bisso. In 2012 Assemblywoman Duprey prevailed over Ms. Bisso in a very bitter primary, although she lost in all three towns she represents in St. Lawrence County.

In the 116th Assembly "River District," there will be both a Republican and Conservative primary. The victor(s) will face Assemblywoman Addie Russell (D-Theresa) in November.

Dr. Joe Timmerman, a SUNY Potsdam professor and candidate for the St. Lawrence County Legislature, wrote a letter to the editor about New York State's costliest unfunded mandate.

Rob Astorino, the Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, visited St. Lawrence County on Labor Day. Mr. Astorino marched with local unions and Senators Ritchie and Griffo.

Zephyr Teachout spoke by phone with the Watertown Daily Times about her position on guns, marijuana, campaign finance, and the upstate economy. Professor Teachout has committed to visiting the North Country within a week of the primary, should she prevail over Andrew Cuomo.
