| Description | A three-way primary for the chance to take on U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in November is underway after a trio of Republican hopefuls achieved ballot status at the state GOP convention in Rochester. Expected to be competitive, it won't be a long one after a court ruling that moves the primary from September to June 26.
"It is much better having a June 26 than a September primary. Thirteen weeks will be enough for them to really get their sea legs in a really competitive situation, a friendly competitive situation," said State Republican Party Chairman Edward Cox.
Candidates include Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos, who has been in the race for almost a full year. He will compete against relative newcomers Wendy Long, a Manhattan lawyer, and freshman Congressman Bob Turner, who announced this week he was running.
