Mayor Duffy Running again
File this under no kidding - but this is interesting…
Mayor Robert Duffy will make his re-election bid official during a news conference this morning, seeking a second term, “because there are many more things to do.”
GOP Chair Reilich isn’t promising a candidate, John Parinello who ran against Duffy last time is interested in the School board.
Duffy has a fundraiser tonight - the Mayors ball - the cheapest ticket is $350. Anyone going?
Let’s hope Mayor Duffy spreads some of that love around to the County Leg races. I mean a Democratic Legislature would benefit Duffy as it would the rest of us.

One theory goes like this:
The republicans will not oppose Duffy because they want to keep the city democratic turnout low. This will give them a better chance at holding on to any contested county legislature seats which include the city.
One seat and the legislature flips. The republican priority is to hold onto its control at all costs.
Maybe - But even last year with Obama on the ticket there was a significant number of undervotes down the County Clerk office.
In the end regardless - it will come out to the GOTV activity.
