Steve Harrison, who in 2006 received a higher percentage of the vote than any of Fossella's previous Democratic opponents, will face McMahon, the machine candidate. Harrison announced that he's running again in August 07. McMahon, who admitted that he was too chicken to challenge Fossella, originally wanted to run for the seat after it was redistricted more democratic in 2012 if he lost the borough president race to Jim Oddo, whose claim to fame is a youtube video of an outburst against an Ali G like fake journalist viewed by millions. Harrison taking the seat this cycle would remove that option, so McMahon spent the previous year undermining 06's candidate by pushing Coney Island Councilman Domenic Recchia who doesn't live in the district (Federal law only requires that Congress members live in the state of the district they seek to represent. Someone from NYC technically can represent Rochester) and thus couldn't vote for himself.. When Fossella chose not to run, McMahon had to jump in or another Democrat would occupy the seat.
