NY-26: Konst to drop bid for Congress against Powers; mulling challenging Volker for State Senate instead

What a day in NY-26! From The Buffalo News:

Democrat Kathy Konst is expected to end her congressional candidacy tonight and instead launch a new campaign for the State Senate against veteran Republican Dale M. Volker, a source in her campaign said today.

This is a win-win for Democrats because, as Stlo7 pointed out to me when hearing this news, the threat there is now spreading good Democratic candidates across the field where they’re needed. Add this nugget to the amazingly great day in the Jon Powers For Congress camp. It’s possible the DCCC announcement earlier today affected Konst’s decision, given the momentum Powers’ campaign has gained.

    I don’t know who your supposed campaign source told you this, but it is not true.
