Flipping the New York State Senate just got a little more difficult. This is really yesterday’s news but here you go…

Assemblyman David Koon, D-Perinton, said this morning that he will not run for the state Senate against Sen. James Alesi, R-Perinton.

Koon was initially thought to be a tough challenger to Alesi as Democrats seek to win the majority in the state Senate for the first time since 1965. Koon has won re-election in an Assembly seat in the eastern Monroe County suburbs that has a Republican majority.

But Koon said today that he will take a pass.

Gee, Any other ideas?

While I’m at it - how is our search for a Democratic Monore County Clerk candidate coming?
