Republicans are not worried over an Oneida County woman said to be contesting the new Assembly seat held by Ken Blankenbush. Maria Pavelock will be the likely Democratic nominee and the party will let her make the run as she has the personal fortune to make a long shot bid.
As for the GOP, they see the district as almost bullet proof even though it now includes parts of Oneida County not previously represented by Mr. B.
In the other local Assembly seat, Democrat Addie Russell seems unopposed, and the Republcian High Command admits they have no viable challenger.

You are such a bigot. You have an accent too, just happens to be an upstate ny accent. Blankenbumble is not a safe bet. The district may be tough but he is a non entity. Doesn't do or say anything and I don't think anyone has ever seen him outside of watertown other than warming a seat in Albany for which he is paid dearly.
Great - competition is always a better way to go rather than handing a highly paid plum over to any incumbent - let them EARN their way in .
I certainly hope that OTHER challengers materialize in all districts in both houses of the Legislature -- LORD KNOWS we CAN DO better than what we have
Last time we had a guy who was supposedly dedicated to the north country, but didn't live here. He moved back to NYC right after the election.
